Napoli beats Fiorentina to halt winless streak
Napoli returned to winning ways and maintained the pressure on Serie A leader Inter with a 2-1 win over Fiorentina.
Romelu Lukaku and Giacomo Raspadori were on target for the Partenopei, who returned to within a point of the Nerazzurri at the summit.
Antonio Conte's side broke through in the 26th minute at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Lukaku slotted in a rebound after David de Gea could only parry Scott McTominay's initial strike.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo soon after, before Raspadori doubled the host's lead on the hour mark, with Lukaku turning provider for Raspadori to bundle home.
Fiorentina, aiming to avoid a fifth defeat in six matches, halved the deficit six minutes later, as Albert Gudmundsson curled past Alex Meret.
Giovanni Simeone missed a chance to restore Napoli's two-goal buffer in stoppage time, but the single-goal margin was enough to end their five-match winless streak.
