Napoli's winless run continued as the azzurri threw away a 2-0 lead to settle for a point against Sampdoria on Sunday evening.Gonzalo Higuain struck twice to give the hosts a commanding first-half lead.However, Citadin Eder came to the rescue for Samp by scoring two goals in the space of two minutes to earn his team a valuable point at the San Paolo stadium and deny the hosts their first victory of the campaign.Napoli, looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at Sassuolo in their Serie A opener, went in front in the ninth minute when Lorenzo Insigne sent Higuain through on goal and his left-footed touch beat Sampdoria goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.Insigne then saw his right-footed effort hit the far post.Napoli doubled their lead before the interval when Allan set up Higuain in the area and his diagonal shot beat Viviano.Samp, who had beaten promoted Carpi 5-2 in their league opener, got back in the game when the referee pointed to the spot after Raul Albiol brought down Fernando in the area.Eder struck the spot-kick towards the far post and out of Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina's reach.Napoli had little time to recover as Eder struck again soon after.Roberto Soriano spotted Eder in the area and the Italy international struck a right-footed shot past Reina for a 2-2 draw.ends
