Simeone haunts Napoli as Torino upsets champion
An injury-hit Napoli side suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Torino in Serie A, with Giovanni Simeone scoring the game鈥檚 only goal for the host.
Simeone, on loan at Torino from Napoli, broke the deadlock after 32 minutes, pouncing on a loose ball in the box to work some space and slot his finish into the net.
The defending champion was missing both Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund through injury and struggled to find any attacking rhythm.
The result marked Napoli鈥檚 second league defeat of the season, leaving it level on 15 points with AS Roma at the top of the table ahead of Roma's clash with Inter Milan later in the day.
Napoli took control in the second half, launching a relentless offensive in search of an equaliser that soon turned into a siege around the Torino goal, but struggled to create clear chances.
Noa Lang thought he had salvaged a late equaliser for Napoli deep into stoppage-time, but his effort was ruled out for offside.
