Napoli stood with Koulibaly during racist incident against Inter Milan in 2018 - Ancelotti

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has opened up about how Napoli stood with Kalidou Koulibaly in a racist incident in a Serie A game with Inter Milan on Boxing Day 2018.

The 28-year-old had brought down Matteo Politano on the touchline in the 80th minute and was given a yellow card. Not long after, he was given a second yellow card for clapping sarcastically at the referee whom Koulibaly was trying to warn about racist abuse towards him from the stands.

Lautaro Martinez scored an injury-time goal to give Inter a 1-0 win, but further damage was done to Napoli as Lorenzo Insigne was given a straight red card for also arguing with the referee.
