Napoli returned to the summit of Serie A on Sunday night, inspired by a clinical Rasmus Hjlund brace that secured a 2-1 victory over Juventus at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, a result that also handed Luciano Spalletti his first defeat since becoming Juventus boss, Softfootball reports
With Kevin De Bruyne still ruled out with a muscle injury and midfield powerhouse Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa sidelined for several months , many expected Napoli to struggle for rhythm. Instead, Antonio Conte's men continued to adapt impressively, with Scott McTominay once again taking command of the midfield and driving the champions forward.
Conte and Spalletti both facing their former Scudetto-winning clubs were seeking a statement result, but it was Napoli who landed the first blow. Only six minutes in, McTominay sent a warning by heading David Neres' cross inches wide. Juventus didnt react, and moments later Neres found space on the right to deliver a low cross that Hjlund turned in from close range for the opener.
