The Napoli made no mistake in the 32nd day post-match with Empoli and responded to Inter’s victory over Cagliari. At the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, in fact, the partenopei imposed themselves on the Tuscans with a net 3-0.

The first chance is for Empoli in the 6th minute: Pezzella crosses from the left for Fazzini who inserts at the first post, anticipates Rrhamani with his header, but narrowly misses the goal. The danger having passed, Napoli began to grind out the game, and on the 18th came the go-ahead goal with McTominay, who from the edge of the box crossed perfectly with his right, beating Vazquez.

The goal was scored by a goal from the left.

Galvanized by the goal, Conte‘s team continued to push in search of the double, but the one who went closest to scoring was Empoli in the 40th minute with Esposito, who let off an excellent volley from a defiladed position, forcing Meret to save in the corner.

The resumption began in the best of ways for Napoli, which found the double in the 56th minute: Gilmour served Oliveira in the box, who supported for Lukaku, who controlled and struck Vazquez at the first post. Five minutes later, the Parthenopeans scored the knockout blow again through McTominay, who sealed his brace with a precise header off an assist from Lukaku.

The Parthenopeans scored the winning goal in the second half.

In the 68th minute, the former Manchester United man also came close to a hat trick, but the post said no to his right-footed shot. After the pinwheel of changes, the Parthenopeans repeatedly go close to the fourth goal, but in the end it does not come.

Thanks to this success, Napoli reaches 68 points, getting back to just three points behind the leader Inter. Empoli, on the other hand, remains stuck at 24 points in the penultimate place in the standings.
