Along with the full-back who scored the winning goal for Napoli, Fabian Ruiz, Insigne, Mertens and Osimhen also shone.

Meret 6: not at fault for the 3 goals, only called into action on one occasion against Messias, he was ready.

By Lorenzo 7,5: an assist and a goal, he is not a striker, but a full-back who has found his best form. He scores the opening goal and allows Napoli to win the 3 points.
Manolas 5: he makes a mistake in the re-launch for the goal that puts Crotone back in the game and shows that he loses confidence when Koulibaly is not there.
Maksimovic 4: many, too many errors, but above all the ball given to Messias for the 3-3 goal was a mistake worthy of a red pen.
Mario Rui 6: he tries to help Insigne in the offensive phase and doesn't take risks in defense.
Bakayoko 6: starts well, but then loses lucidity and becomes very imprecise when he comes out with the ball at his feet. (From 62' Elmas 6: he runs a lot and tries to help Napoli in the offensive phase).
Fabian Ruiz 6,5: he is in a good moment and it shows, he also has the opportunity to score but he kicks badly. Fundamental in the middle of the field.

Politano 6: many flashes but he can't be as incisive as usual; he finds himself perfectly matched with Di Lorenzo. (From 62' Lozano 6: he shows that he is not yet 100% but in one-on-one situations he is difficult for everyone to hold).
Mertens 7: a gem of a free kick once again; he is seen a lot between the lines and on more than one occasion he becomes dangerous. (From 73' Zielinski SV)
Insignia 7: once again a leader's performance, he scores the opening goal and plays 90 intense minutes, characterised by a lot of running and precise passes to his teammates.
Osimhen 7: he finally starts to show himself; when he has space he becomes very dangerous and doesn't miss the goal for the temporary 2-0. (From 90' Petagna SV)
Gattuso 6,5: 12 points in the last 4 games is the most important data, but the 3 goals conceded against the last team in the standings are worrying. Once again the changes in the Napoli they have an impact and demonstrate that they know how to perfectly manage the squad when it is almost complete.
