The Partenopei were held by a team down to 10 men, but Mauricio Pinilla had scored the opener when surprising Paulo Henrique.

Napoli claimed it was a foul, whereas the official decided the defender was simply caught napping on the ball.

“It is shameful!” wrote Napoli on their Twitter feed.

“Tavecchio cannot lose his credibility in this way. The refereeing was not suited to Serie A and falsified the League.

“In England this would not have happened.”

Carlo Tavecchio is President of the FIGC.

With this result and Sampdoria’s 1-0 victory over Inter, Napoli drop to fifth place.
