Chievo Verona stunned Napoli with a tremendous Serie A victory against the Scudetto chasers.
Chievo surprised Napoli with a clinical Serie A performance to gain all three points, severely denting the visitors’ Scudetto hopes in the process.
The home side’s tactic of playing on the counterattack worked wonders, particularly once the Flying Donkeys took the lead.
Boukary Drame smashed an unstoppable drive from outside the box to put Chievo in front, and from then on Napoli had to leave space for them to exploit on further counters.
Cyril Thereau sprinted clear to double Chievo’s lead, and Napoli’s misery was compounded in the second half when star striker Edinson Cavani had a penalty saved.
His team left with nothing, and their title dreams in tatters.
