Santander heads Bologna past underwhelming Napoli
ROME — An aerial masterclass from Federico Santander saw Bologna snatch a 3-2 win at the death and ensure that Napoli finished their underwhelming season with a whimper.Santander acrobatically nodded home with two minutes remaining of a free-wheeling encounter to take the three points after Carlo Ancelotti's side had gamely fought back from two goals down at half-time.The Paraguayan also opened the scoring with a towering header two minutes before half-time and laid on Blerim Dzemaili to charge forward and double the lead just seconds later.The win nestles Bologna in 10th place ahead of Sunday's matches and provides a disappointing end to Ancelotti's first campaign in charge of Napoli, who finished comfortably second but never posed a threat to Juventus' charge toward an...
