Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Rome, October 20 - Napoli's form slump continued on Wednesday when they lost 3-2 at home to Turkish side Besiktas in the Champions League.
    Maurizio Sarri's side paid the prize for an error strewn performance, including a missed penalty by Lorenzo Insigne, to suffer their third consecutive defeat after losing their last two matches in Serie A. Napoli remain top of Champions League Group B with six points from three games, having won their first two matches in Europe's premier club competition.
    They are one point ahead of Besiktas of Istanbul, who clinched their first win in the Champions League since 2009.
    Vincent Aboubakar was the hero for the visitors, scoring twice, including a late winner that should have been disallowed for offside.
    Dries Mertens and Manolo Gabbiadini scored for Napoli.
