Lavezzi double sinks unhappy Chelsea

Ezequiel Lavezzi scored twice as Napoli came from behind to beat visitors Chelsea 3-1 in the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie on Tuesday.

Edinson Cavani, who laid on both of Lavezzi's goals, scored the other for the Serie A team after Juan Mata had put Chelsea ahead.

Lavezzi levelled in the 38th minute, the Argentine's first goal in the competition, and Cavani headed them ahead in first-half stoppage time after hesitant Chelsea defending. The Uruguayan then set up Lavezzi's second in the 65th minute.
