Previously perched on the shoulders of the leaders, Gian Piero Gasperini's side now face a scrap to secure a place in continental competition next season through a top six finish they occupy eighth place in the standings, having followed a 3-1 home defeat to Napoli with Sunday's 2-1 reverse at Sassuolo. That commendable result continues the stark contrast between the Nerazzurri's fortunes in Europe and in Serie A, as they have won just three of their last 14 outings in the Italian top flight following another defeat at the weekend. Defying his ongoing domestic drought, Colombian striker Luis Muriel fired La Dea into the lead last week with a clinical 17th-minute strike, but Leipzig fought back in spirited fashion overcoming Andre Silva's penalty miss to eventually force an equaliser when Davide Zappacosta turned the ball into his own net under pressure from Willi Orban.
