Napoli put the Wolves to the sword

Danes couldn’t come back from tough first half

FC Midtjylland had enjoyed a perfect start to their Europa League campaign with wins against Legia Warsaw and Club Brugge, but the fun ended against Napoli tonight.

The unbeaten Italians won 4-1 in Herning thanks to first-half goals by Jose Callejon and a brace by Manolo Gabbiadini.

Martin Pusic pulled one back for FCM, but the Danes couldn’t come back and Gonzalo Higuain rounded off the scoring in injury time.
