ROME (AP) — Napoli’s hopes of a first Serie A title in more than three decades were virtually torn apart over an eight-minute span late in the second half at Empoli.

Third-place Napoli was left five points behind defending champion Inter Milan and four points behind AC Milan with only four games remaining. Relegation-threatened Salernitana beat Fiorentina 2-1 to establish its first-ever three-match winning streak in Serie A and is fighting to stay in the top tier.
