Fiorentina managed to pick up points in their second consecutive Serie A match after a disappointing start to the season and a change in management. In today’s Italian league encounter, the “Violas” played out a draw at home against Napoli.
Billy Gilmour put the visitors ahead in the 23rd minute with a superb volley following a corner kick delivery. However, the hosts responded early in the second half. Alfredo Jimenez secured the equalizer for Fiorentina, with a bit of fortune involved as his shot deflected off Ndour before finding the left corner of the net.
