Florence – Napoli made no mistake and, after Juventus temporarily overtook them, reclaimed the top spot in Serie A with a 3-1 victory over Fiorentina at the Franchi stadium. The victory reflected a team already in full Conte style: fierce intensity, relentless pressing, and clinical in front of goal.
The match broke quickly thanks to a naive foul by Comuzzo that brought down Anguissa in the penalty area. De Bruyne made no mistake from the penalty spot, putting the Azzurri ahead in the sixth minute. Just ten minutes later, the Azzurri doubled their lead, with Hojlund capitalizing on Spinazzola's assist to slide past De Gea with a right-footed shot. The Viola goalkeeper kept his side afloat with a couple of saves, but Napoli continued to dominate the first half.
Conte 's team also scored a third in the second half: following a corner, Anguissa found Beukema, who slotted home from close range in the 50th minute. Fiorentina pulled one back in the 79th minute through Ranieri, the first goal Napoli had conceded in the league. The Viola twice came close to making it 3-2 in the closing stages, but Milinkovic-Savic made crucial saves from Piccoli and Gosens.
Napoli thus celebrates their third win in three and tops the table, level with Juventus on full points, who remain technically ahead of the Azzurri on goal difference. Fiorentina are generous but crushed by Conte 's Azzurri , who continue to send strong signals to the league.
