Napoli's Serie A winless streak was extended to seven games as Fiorentina came from a goal down to claim a 3-1 victory at the San Paolo.

Despite faltering form, Walter Mazzarri's side had not relinquished their unbeaten home record until the Viola visited on Saturday night.

Ezequiel Lavezzi gave the hosts the lead shortly after the half-time break when his header sailed beyond Sebastien Frey and into the net.

But Fiorentina levelled the match when Stevan Jovetic's pinpoint cross was nodded home by veteran striker Alberto Gilardino.

As Napoli searched for a winner, Gilardino notched a second with three minutes remaining after latching onto Jovetic's flick-on.

Jovetic tapped into an empty net in the closing stages after Napoli goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis left his area to join the attack.
