Napoli coach Rafael Benitez has said that his side showed their quality despite blowing a two-goal lead against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Lorenzo Insigne and Goran Pandev saw the Partenopei leading at half time, but second-half goals from Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny rescued a 2-2 draw for the Gunners.

"It was a good game, we had quality and showed what we can do," Football Italia quotes Benitez as saying.

"We lacked intensity in possession when Arsenal pressed us, especially in the second half.

"Napoli are a club who want to grow, so we are working to improve. This is a great side in Italy and we're working to become strong in Europe too."

Napoli get their Serie A campaign underway at home to Bologna on August 25.
