Football news - Tiemoue Bakayoko earns Napoli last-gasp victory at Udinese

Chelsea's on-loan midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko scored the winner for Italian side Napoli as he headed in a winner in the dying moments of their Serie A game against Udinese on Sunday afternoon. The win takes the side to fifth the table in Italy.

Tiemoue Bakayoko headed a last-gasp winner as Napoli snatched a 2-1 victory at Udinese in Serie A on Sunday to climb to fifth in the standings.

VAR came to the visitors' aid early on after a blatant foul on Hirving Lozano in the penalty area was missed by the on-field officials, with the referee awarding a spot-kick converted by Lorenzo Insigne in the 15th minute.

The hosts were much the better side, however, and equalised through Kevin Lasagna, who capitalised on an underhit back pass from Amir Rrahmani before slotting home in the 27th minute.

Udinese continued to offer more attacking threat in the second half, but against the run of play Bakayoko, on loan from Chelsea, popped up with a 90th-minute header to send Napoli fifth, above Juventus who play Sassuolo later on Sunday.

Udinese stayed 13th and are without a win in six league games.
