Napoli continued their impressive Serie A campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Empoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, keeping their title aspirations alive. The match was notably influenced by former Manchester United players Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku, both of whom delivered standout performances.
Scott McTominay opened the scoring with a powerful long-range strike, showcasing his growing confidence and technical prowess.
He later added a second goal with a well-timed header, bringing his Serie A tally to eight goals this season. This achievement surpasses the league goal totals of any current Manchester United player, highlighting his significant impact since his £25 million move to Napoli.
Romelu Lukaku also played a pivotal role, contributing two assists and scoring a goal himself.
This performance brought his season totals to 12 goals and 10 assists in Serie A, marking the first time in his career he has achieved double figures in both categories within a single league season.
Lukaku’s consistent contributions have been instrumental in Napoli’s attacking success, accounting for nearly half of the team’s league goals this season.
The synergy between McTominay and Lukaku has been a significant factor in Napoli’s strong performances under manager Antonio Conte.
Their combined efforts in the match against Empoli not only secured a vital win but also demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating experienced players into a cohesive team strategy.
With this victory, Napoli remains just three points behind league leaders Inter Milan, intensifying the competition for the Serie A title.
