Fernando Llorente again. This time, he scored twice and handed over 3 heavy points to the classification for Napoli. The Spaniard is at the third consecutive goal after the one made on Tuesday at Liverpool. There was little or nothing to do for Lecce, overwhelmed by the better quality of the opponent and the singles: the third Neapolitan goal comes from a personal action, started and concluded by Fabian Ruiz with a big left. In goal also Insigne and Mancosu, both on penalty. A success that keeps the head of the table unchanged: Napoli is now third at 9 points.

TURNOVER - Compared to the Champions League match against Liverpool, Carlo Ancelotti keeps eight out. The only three survivors are Koulibaly, Fabian Ruiz and Insigne. Among the posts, there is the return of David Ospina, owner after 5 months: the last time he had started from the first minute was at the end of April, in the transfer to Frosinone. In attack, the coach presents a new pair, namely, Milik and Llorente and keeps the top scorer of this season, Dries Mertens, on the bench. On the other front, Liverani deploys an offensive reference to Mancosu, with Farias and Falco between the lines.

DOUBLE ADVANTAGE - The start of the race is boring, so much wrong. Farias kicks from outside and the ball touches the post (15 '). Napoli pushes on the outside, Malcuit arrives at the bottom and crosses high for Llorente and Milik deadlifts, but the two strikers are kept to man by Rossettini and Lucioni. Lecce relies on the restarts focusing on the speed of Tabanelli and on the insertions of Mancosu who kicks off (20 ') for the first real attempt of the Salento. There are no important ideas, the two teams control themselves without worries. But in the 28th minute Napoli took the lead on a lucky action: Milik's shot hit Rossettini and ended up on Llorente's feet, who beat Gabriel all by himself. The disadvantage confuses the Salento people and the adversary can relax with greater decision. It is the 38th minute when a header from Llorente in the area is rejected by Tachtsidis' arm. The gesture is not voluntary, but with the new rules the touch is punishable by the penalty kick that the referee Piccinni assigns after the consultation with the Var. Insigne and Gabriel rejects the serve, but the referee whistles the repetition of the joke and warns the Salentine goalkeeper, guilty of having moved ahead. The protests of Lecce players are of little use: it is replied. On the diskette he again presents Insigne who, this time, beats the extreme Salento.

NAPOLI FOUR GOALS - In the second half, the Carlo Ancelotti collective puts the result to safety after seven minutes. Fabian Ruiz concludes the personal action with a round trip. Pride in Lecce is not enough. The rearguard of Naples concedes little or nothing. And yet the Salentines shorten the gap to the 16th minute: Ospina rejects the conclusion from Tabanelli's limit, but Farias comes out and overwhelms him on the rebound. Piccinni whistles the rigor that Pasqua confirms from the Var. On the beat Mancosu goes for the 1-3. Napoli, however, is spreading to the finish, with Llorente (37 ') ready to rebut Insigne's conclusion rejected by Gabriel.
