Amir Rrahmani snatched a 2-1 win for Napoli against Serie A's bottom team Salernitana with a stoppage-time strike which ended the ailing champions winless run at four matches.

Kosovo captain Rrahmani capitalised on dreadful defending at a free-kick to poke home the winner and turn jeers into cheers at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Walter Mazzarri's side moved up to sixth in Italy's top flight after the win. The hosts came back from going behind in the 29th minute to a stunning Antonio Candreva strike.

Matteo Politano pulled Napoli level in first half stoppage time before Rrahmani brought the house down with his late winner.

Napoli are two points behind Fiorentina, who sit in the final Champions League spot and face Udinese on Sunday.

Later on Saturday Inter Milan, who Napoli trail by 17 points, will try to extend their lead at the top of the league to five points when they take on Monza.
