Fiorentina 3-3 Napoli: Highlights

First half

Lorenzo Insigne picked up the ball in an offside position in the 25th minute, then cut onto his right and curled in what was, frankly, a beautiful goal to give the visitors a 0-1 lead.

Second half

At 53’, Federico Bernardeschi struck a free kick that glanced off of Jose Callejon and completely wrong-footed Pepe Reina, pulling Fiorentina back onto level terms.

Then, at 68’, Dries Mertens dispossessed Nenad Tomovic and coolly slotted home to put Napoli back on top.

Just a minute later, though, Berna burst through the defense and uncorked a blistering daisycutter of a goal that left Reina helpless, pulling his side even again.

Fede turned provider next, finding substitute Mauro Zarate with a sumptuous diagonal through ball that the Argentinean brilliantly hit first-time just inside the post to hand the Viola their first lead in the 82nd minute.

We still weren’t finished, though, as Carlos Salcedo left a leg out that Dries Mertens ran into, winning a stoppage-time penalty that Manolo Gabbiadini almost didn’t get past Ciprian Tatarusanu.
