Samp pay for 60-second blackout in 3-0 defeat at Napoli

Sampdoria had to leave Naples empty-handed once again after a minute’s distraction midway through the first half cost them the game.

Arek Milik and Lorenzo Insigne’s quickfire one-two put Napoli firmly in the driving seat and the Blucerchiati were unable to recover. Simone Verdi added a late third for Carlo Ancelotti’s side from the penalty spot while Fabio Quagliarella was unable to set a new Serie A record by scoring in 12 consecutive matches, his run ending on 11.
