Napoli have provisionally opened up a
16 point gap over second placed Inter by beating basement side
Cremonese by 3-0 at the Maradona ahead of Inter's trip to
Sampdoria Monday night.
Goals by Georgian dribbling sensation Khvicha 'Kvaradona'
Kvaratskhelia, Nigeria centre forward Victor Osimhen and
Macoednia midfielder Elif Elmas saw the Partenopei safely home
against the Cremona side despite them not showing their usual
flowing attacking brilliance.
It was Osimhen's eight goal in six games and 18th in all in
Serie A this season.
If Inter win at Samp they will be 13 points behind Napoli, on 46
points to 59.
Atalanta went third, on 41 points, after beating Lazio 2-0 at
the Olimpico thanks to a wonder goal from Italy defender Davide
Zappacosta and a tap-in from 20-year-old Denmark striker Rasmus
H›jlund.
Roma are fourth and AC Milan fifth, both also on 41 points, the
same as Atalanta, but with worse goal differences.
Lazio is sixth on 39, nine points head of Torino and Udinese in
joint seventh and eight and ten clear of Juventus, who beat
Fiorentina 1-0 at the Allianz Stadium with a goal from France
midfielder Fabien Rabiot to stand on 29 points following their
15-pont deduction for for allegedly inflating earnings from
transfer dealings in their balance sheets.
