* Hamsik scores twice as Napoli win 3-2 having been 2-0 down
* Substitute Jesus Datolo does the damage to stun Juve
(adds details, quote)
MILAN, Oct 31 - Substitute Jesus Datolo helped a
rampaging Napoli fight back from 2-0 down to triumph 3-2 at
Juventus in a thrilling Serie A encounter on Saturday.
The Argentine midfielder scored one goal and set up the
other two to send the Naples club up to fifth after their third
win in four games under new coach Walter Mazzarri.
"When a coach makes a change... it's so the players will
respond and Datolo has done really well," Mazzarri, who replaced
Roberto Donadoni at the start of the month, told Sky television.
Juve, second in the table, came into the game on a high
after Wednesday's 5-1 thrashing of Sampdoria but left the pitch
completely stunned having appeared to have the match wrapped up.
The hosts took the lead when striker David Trezeguet,
starting because Wednesday's hero Amauri had flu, powered in a
header for his fifth of the season 10 minutes before the break.
Sebastian Giovinco doubled their advantage early in the
second half when he slotted home after Napoli defender Matteo
Contini headed the ball straight to him under no pressure.
Datolo then made an immediate impact for Napoli moments
after coming on, crossing for Marek Hamsik to score at the far
post.
He then scrambled home the equaliser just after the hour
mark following Hamsik's corner before his ball into the box led
to Hamsik grabbing the winner nine minutes from time with Juve's
defence again all at sea.
Substitute Amauri was harshly sent off late on for sliding
into Napoli goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis to complete a miserable
second half for Ciro Ferrara's side.
AC Milan host Parma later on Saturday (1945 GMT) with
leaders Inter Milan, four points above Juve, visiting Livorno in
Sunday's main programme of matches.
