Spalletti proud of Napoli players after Juventus draw

Napol coach Luciano Spalletti was proud of his players after their 1-1 draw with Juventus.

Juventus cancelled out Dries Mertens' opener via a deflected Federico Chiesa strike.

“We had come to Turin with the intention of playing for three points, despite the great difficulties we faced and had to overcome just to organise this match," Spalletti told the official Napoli website.

“It's disappointing we didn't manage that, but are very proud with the performance offered by the whole team.

“It was a performance of great character, with technical and moral quality expressed by players who once again proved they deserve to wear the Napoli jersey. Well done everyone."
