Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti hailed goalscorer Kalidou Koulibaly after victory over Juventus.

Napoli came from behind to win 2-1 on the night.

“A coach tries to make changes during the half-time break, but the reaction of the players is what's fundamental," Spalletti told DAZN.

“Nobody gives you results, you have to turn these things around. We did more in the second half, added Adam Ounas in that position and that opened up a few more spaces.

“There was general pressure all around that prompted errors, both from Juventus and Napoli. Juve were sitting deeper and their wing-backs caused us problems, because they put dangerous balls in behind the defence. We have to do better.

“We deserved to win, but it wasn't as clean a victory as it could've been."

On Koulibaly, he added: “He really is remarkable. He always adds those two or three notches more than anyone else, he's an extraordinary leader and a great man. We are what we do, not what we say."
