Benitez won't complain after disappointing Napoli defeat

Napoli boss Rafa Benitez was left disappointed with their defeat to Palermo.

The Azzurri lost 3-1 yesterday.

"If we analyse the game from the start, we conceded a goal nobody expected and that changed everything," Benitez told Sky Sport Italia after a 3-1 result at the Stadio Barbera.

"We had a lot of possession, chances, control, but then conceded on another mistake and counter-attack. The same thing happened in the second half, just as we were pushing hard, an error led to a third goal.

"We made too many mistakes and the moments they occurred in were against the run of play. These enabled Palermo to approach the game a certain way."
