Serie A: Chiesa equaliser cancels Mertens opener as Juventus held Napoli to a score draw (Highlights) 2021-2022

Federico Chiesa cancelled out a Dries Mertens strike, but a Napoli side missing nine players impressed with a 1-1 draw away to Juventus.

Weston McKennie should’ve given Juve the lead within four minutes, but his free header from a corner was wide.

Napoli grew into the game and took the lead when Matteo Politano knocked down a Lorenzo Insigne ball over the top for Dries Mertens, who drilled it through the legs of Alex Sandro, with Wojciech Szczesny’s fingertip rendering the attempted Matthijs de Ligt goal-line clearance futile.

Chiesa got the equaliser with a bit of luck, as his shot took a deflection off Lobotka’s leg and squirmed past Ospina into the far bottom corner.
