Juventus travelled south to Napoli’s Stadio San Paolo in poor form this weekend, the Bianconeri having won just once in their opening five league games. Those five games had seen them fall 10 points behind early league leaders Inter, and the reigning champions knew they needed to quickly return to form.
Yet they would once again drop points, losing for the third time in a campaign that is looking increasingly like it will be a difficult one to endure. Suffering a 2-1 defeat, Massimiliano Allegri’s men never looked as if they could secure a result, playing badly from start to finish in what was a desperately disappointing performance.
