Napoli failed to close the gap on Serie A leaders Juventus following the defending champions' 1-0 defeat against Roma as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Sampdoria on Sunday.

Marek Hamsik and Edinson Cavani could not break down the resistance of Delio Rossi's team but things got considerably worse for the Slovakian after the match.

The 25-year-old, who has been linked with a host of clubs including Manchester City, was robbed at gunpoint while leaving San Paolo after the match and had a watch worth more than €10,000 (£8,600) taken. Sadly, this was not new.

Five years ago Hamsik was robbed in a similar incident, while his wife has also had her car stolen at gunpoint. "This is the third time already," his sister, Miska, wrote on Twitter. "It's disgusting."
