"Brazilian winger Santos drilled home early and Elmas lashed in a second, before Napoli held out after Cesare Casadei's late consolation to leave themselves third and just a point behind second-place Milan in Serie A."
"It took just seven minutes for Santos to jink in from the left flank and brilliantly hit a low daisy-cutter into the near corner. Nikola Vlasic tested Vanja Milinkovic-Savic with a couple of efforts as Torino sought a swift response, before Rasmus Hojlund wastefully headed over Matteo Politano's teasing cross for Napoli."
"Santos got his side off to a flier and he is only the fifth player to score in his first two Serie A home games for Napoli in the three-points-for-a-win era (since 1994-95), after Nicola Caccia, Jose Callejon, Arkadiusz Milik and Lorenzo Tonelli."
Napoli secured a 2-1 victory over Torino at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Brazilian winger Alisson Santos opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a low shot into the near corner. Eljif Elmas doubled the lead in the second half after receiving a cushioned pass from Matteo Politano following Leonardo Spinazzola's cross. Torino pulled one back through Cesare Casadei's header late in the match, but Napoli held firm to claim three points. The win leaves Napoli third in Serie A, just one point behind second-place Milan, and extends their unbeaten home record to 13 games this season.
