Watch all the action from the Stadio Castellani, as Venezia got their first win of the season thanks to Thomas Henry and an extraordinary David Okereke run from his own half.
Empoli were feeling so confident after upsetting Juventus in Turin, but were stunned early on here when Henry met the Mattia Aramu low cross from six yards.
Henry also forced a tough save, but Okereke made a spectacular impact, coming off the bench and scoring 70 seconds later.
