Football: Relegation-threatened Empoli stun Napoli with a 2-1 home victory in Serie A

Diego Farias and Giovanni Di Lorenzo gave relegation-threatened Empoli a 2-1 victory over Napoli in the Italian Serie A. Napoli's unexpected loss means Juventus are only two wins away from clinching a record-extending eighth straight domestic title. Juventus lead Napoli by 18 points with eight rounds remaining - if the Bianconeri beat AC Milan on Saturday and Napoli lose again to Genoa a day later, Juventus could clinch the title this weekend. Empoli went ahead when a deflected shot from Farias confused goalkeeper Alex Meret.
