Napoli defender Kevin Malcuit has put his hands up for his error in defeat to Juventus.

A loose pass from Malcuit led to Juve winning a penalty and teammate Alex Meret being sent off.

“A lapse can change a game when you play at this level," agent Bruno Satin told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“It went badly wrong with Meret's red card and the goal right away. It was a dark night, but we hope Kevin is able to react quickly with his character.

“I heard from him, he was disappointed. He apologised to everyone, above all his teammates and the fans.

“He's aware of the significance of his mistake in a game like the one against Juventus, which isn't like all the others.

“He wanted to do well and messed up, but it happens to every player. We hope that in Napoli's next few games, he gets the chance to make amends.

“The player needs our support at a difficult time. We can't throw everything away, he's done many good things while he's been here.

“Luckily there's now the Europa League."
