Napoli will spend the international break as leader of Serie A. Already at the top of the ranking, Antonio Conte’s team got the better of promoted Como (3-1), this Friday, at the opening of the 7th day of the Italian championship.
The Partenopei started strong with a goal from Scott McTominay in the first minute, but Como from Cesc Fabregas equalized through Gabriel Strefezza (43rd). But Naples regained the upper hand in the second half, with a penalty from Romelu Lukaku (53rd) and a goal from another summer recruit, David Neres (86th).
Napoli thus offers itself a small cushion of 4 points ahead of Juventus and 5 points over Inter, Milan and Torino.
