Watch as Federico Bonazzoli’s spectacular bicycle-kick gives Salernitana a point in Empoli, but goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario performed heroics, including on a Diego Perotti penalty.
The visitors needed points to keep their Serie A safety dreams alive and it was a blow when Patrick Cutrone gave Empoli the lead against the run of play, especially after a goal-line clearance on Milan Djuric.

Vicario was Man of the Match with extraordinary saves on Norbert Gyomber, Bonazzoli and Djuric, while Cutrone hit the upright for the hosts.
However, the same goalkeeper fumbled a corner for Bonazzoli’s acrobatic equaliser.
Vicario made up for it by parrying Perotti’s penalty after a Simone Romagnoli foul on Mamadou Coulibaly.
