MILAN: Empoli continued its excellent form to extend unbeaten run to four games, defeating Salernitana 3-1 in Serie A on Friday.

Shon Weissman equalised after 69 minutes for Salernitana with a glancing header from Antonio Candreva's right cross.
M'Baye Niang then converted from the penalty spot three minutes from time before Matteo Cancellieri adding the third goal with a fine breakaway finish in injury time.
