Napoli is alone at the top of Serie A, at least until January 11, when second-placed Atalanta play their next match.
It was supposed to be a derby, there was supposed to be a stronger resistance from Fiorentina, considering that the guests were missing one of the best, Hvič Kvaracheli, but Antonio Conte's team is not kidding - with an easy 0:3 they flew through this, on paper it was difficult visit.
Fiorentina is in crisis - the third defeat in the last four matches, with one draw with Juventus.
Napoli at the top has 44 points, three more and a game more than Atalanta, four more and two games more than Inter...
Rivals of the Neapolitans for first place traveled to Saudi Arabia this weekend for the Super Cup matches, and the continuation of the Champions League will soon await them. Conte's team, on the other hand, is only focused on Serie A and that could be a big advantage.
Napoli took the lead in the 29th minute when Romelu Lukaku played a double pass with the Brazilian David Neres, the former Ajax attacker, who nevertheless did most of the work himself - with a fantastic shot he shot over the head of goalkeeper David de Gea.
Just six minutes later, Fiorentina also scored, but Mojze Ken received the ball with his hand, so the goal was disallowed.
In the 54th minute gosti were awarded a penalty by Lukaku, to punctuate Scott McTominay, with a precise shot after a counterattack and poor intervention by the home team's defense.
On January 12, Napoli welcomes Verona, and then travels to Bergamo for a derby with Atalanta.
