Olivera the one bright spot as Napoli draw at Fiorentina
In the player ratings from the 1-1 at the Franchi, only the full-back convinces in both attack and defence, while the rest of the side split between highs and lows.
The player ratings from Fiorentina-Napoli 1-1 give the top mark to Olivera, praised for his work at both ends of the pitch — the only Napoli player to stand out defensively and offensively on a night the rest of the team split between highs and lows.
The game at the Franchi (Fiorentina's stadium) had looked good for Napoli: Gilmour put them ahead in the 23rd minute, assisted by Politano, after Atta and Fagioli had already hit the woodwork twice in the first half. Jiménez levelled it in the 51st minute with an assist from Ndour, and head coach Allegri told his side afterwards to leave the pitch angry.

Napoli stay ninth on 7 points from 5 games, now unbeaten in two, though that streak does not change much in the table. Politano had already said after the match that the team lacks the killer instinct in front of goal. The ratings, with Olivera the only player to shine in both phases, tell the same story from another angle: the side holds up, but still struggles to see games through.
