Napoli

Napoli beat Spezia 3-0 to go 16 points clear at the top of Serie A, as Victor Osimhen landed a double in their pursuit of the Scudetto.

- The Napoli striker does brilliantly to beat his man and then the Spezia goalkeeper, but the goal is ruled out for a foul on Caldara. Spezia: 0 - The home side failed to get a single shot on target in 90 minutes against a Napoli side playing well below their best. Napoli: 35 - The visitors won back possession an impressive 35 times against Spezia. Just 10 seconds into the second half though, Arkadiusz Reca handled in his own box to gift Kvaratskhelia a spot-kick. Serie A's leading scorer scored twice against Spezia, taking the chances that fell to him well. An 18th win from 21 league matches takes Napoli a frankly ridiculous 16 points clear atop Serie A.

Unstoppable SSC Napoli remain as unstoppable as ever, beating Spezia 3-0 on Sunday to remain 13 points clear at the top of Serie A.

We must be proud of the love Neapolitans have for us and to translate that onto the pitch.” We have no doubts on that, we have made our decision to gamble for double, going to attack every game and trying to achieve something for the love of these fans who were all praying for us today. It now seems like ensuring the Partenopei take the title is just a matter of course, with the club’s first league title in 30 years looking increasingly easy to take.
