Rafael Benitez "disappointed" with Napoli draw against Empoli

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez has admitted that he is disappointed with his side following their 2-2 draw with Empoli this afternoon.

The Partenopei had been two goals down before Duvan Zapata and Jonathan De Guzman struck to earn them a point at the Stadio San Paolo.

"Drawing on home turf is always a negative result, as we gifted two goals," Benitez told Sky Sport Italia.

"We managed to fight back and in the end could even have won, but we are disappointed. We need to score more goals and concede fewer of them, it's that simple. It means improving both forward and back.

"The reaction of the team was positive and if we had scored the third goal at the death then we'd be here talking about a great comeback, but I also look at the errors of the first 20 minutes."

Napoli have now drawn their past three games in Serie A.
