An aggressive Juventus dominated Napoli at the Stadium, inflicting a resounding 3-0 victory that cemented Luciano Spalletti's team as a leading force in Serie A. The victory took the Bianconeri to 42 points, temporarily drawing level with Roma, while the Partenopei remained stuck on 43, paying the price for a squad decimated by injuries.
The match opened with an aggressive Juve, with David and Yildiz up front and McKennie and Conceicao ready to roam behind them. Conte's team struggled to establish their play, and in the 22nd minute, Jonathan David broke the deadlock with a Locatelli assist, capitalizing on a physical duel with the Azzurri defense.
The second half confirmed the hosts' dominance. In the 77th minute, Yildiz doubled the lead, capitalizing on a mistake by Juan Jesus, and in the 86th minute, Kostic sealed the victory with a precise left-footed shot that just missed the post. Napoli attempted a desperate response with Lukaku's return and a move to a double striker, but to no avail. The final chance fell to Hojlund, who set up Lukaku: the striker missed, and the match ended 3-0.

Juventus played very well today and absolutely deserved the victory, but I don't know if Napoli can recover after this defeat, they should pay more attention to the injuries in their squad and prepare better.
