EMPOLI, Italy (AP) — Englishman Keinan Davis has scored with 14 minutes remaining for Udinese to draw at Empoli 1-1 in Serie A. Davis snapped the visitor’s three-game losing streak on Monday. The former Watford and Aston Villa striker headed home a near-post corner to match Pietro Pellegri’s opener. It was Pellegri’s third goal in three games. Empoli is in 10th place, a point and a place below Udinese. At the bottom of Serie A, Lecce has beaten Venezia 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Patrick Dorgu. Lecce jumped into 15th, while Venezia remains in last place with just two wins in 13 matches.
