Watch Arsenal flop David Ospina’s horrendous gaffe to gift Lazio winner against struggling Napoli
NAPOLI goalkeeper David Ospina was guilty of making another calamitous gaffe as the Colombian's shot-stopper late error gifted Lazio a 1-0 win.
The 31-year-old - appearing in his first Serie A game since December 1 - was robbed in possession by Ciro Immobile, who made no mistake by curling home into an empty net.
After making a poor first touch following a back pass, Ospina attempted to dribble past the Italian striker in the 82nd minute.

But the ex-Arsenal man was instantly outmuscled by the former Borussia Dortmund forward just inside the penalty box, who turned and tucked away his effort, though Giovanni Di Lorenzo should have cleared the shot off the line.
His goal was his 20th strike of the top-flight this season - six more than closest rival Romelu Lukaku at the top of the Serie A goalscoring charts.
Lazio are now third in the table - four points behind leaders Inter Milan - while Napoli dropped to tenth, with Ospina being ridiculed on social media over his blunder.
One fan quipped: "Once a gunner, always a gunner."
Another joked: "He use to play for Arsenal, that behaviour is second nature to him."
A third added: "Who else was wowed by that David Ospina's moment of madness yesterday."
One raging supporter fumed: "Napoli is so f****** garbage. Wtf was that from Ospina!? Absolute joke."
