Manolas met  Mario Rui's cross with a fine header and, barely two minutes later,  Lozano slotted past Szczesny after being picked out by Piotr Zielinski  from the left.Costa's shot was brilliantly tipped onto the bar by  Meret and, as anxiety seemed to build within the stands, Napoli  snatched an equaliser when Di Lorenzo diverted Jose Callejon's delivery  into the net from inside the six-yard box.Yet with barely 90  seconds remaining, a hopeful free-kick was lofted into the Napoli area  and Koulibaly sliced a clearance high into his own net with no Juve  player nearby.</blockquote>
