Napoli took advantage of their rivals’ absence to beat Fiorentina 3-0. The victory at the Stadio Franchi was their fourth league win in a row. Consequently, it sent Napoli to the top of the standings, though their closest challengers have games in hand.
To start with, David Neres opened the scoring with a brilliant solo effort. He skipped past two defenders and fired a powerful shot into the top corner. The goal came in the 29th minute and gave Napoli the lead.
In the second half, Frank Anguissa was fouled in the penalty area. As a result, Romelu Lukaku calmly converted the spot-kick to double Napoli’s advantage.
Later, Scott McTominay sealed the win. The Scotsman scored from inside the box in the 68th minute. His composed finish highlighted another strong performance.
