Napoli coach Rino Gattuso offered no excuses after their 2-0 home defeat to Sassuolo.

Manuel Locatelli, from the spot, and Maxime Lopez struck for the visitors.

“We had many chances, we didn't convert them, we could've done more and there's no point standing here talking about whether it was a penalty or not. That's the way they saw it, we have to focus on the game," Gattuso told Sky Sport Italia.

“These incidents can happen, it's not my job to judge the referee. I judge the team and I say we could've done better. Sassuolo are a side that make you run hard and we were too frenetic. We were naïve on their penalty, we should focus first on being solid and getting the goal later.

“We had many chances, Sassuolo are a side that allow you those spaces, but we didn't have enough quality in our passing. When it was still 0-0, the team gave off the sensation it could score a goal and I don't recall us being particularly troubled before then.

“If you don't press Sassuolo well, then Boga and Traore can cause real problems. Our tempo was too slow when Sassuolo had the ball. We have to keep working, keep improving, finding a way to give Osimhen better service."
