"Rasmus Hojlund scored twice, including a 78th-minute winner, to send Napoli one point clear at the top of Serie A with a 2-1 win over Juventus on Sunday. Napoli appeared set to drop more points in the race for the Scudetto, but Hojlund came to the rescue late on with a thumping header from inside the penalty area. Antonio Conte's side are now one point clear of Inter, but could be joined on 31 points by AC Milan should they beat Torino on Monday."
"Hojlund struck with just seven minutes on the clock at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona when he slid David Neres' teasing cross into the area beyond Michele Di Gregorio's dive. Napoli's lightning start almost got even better soon after, but Giovanni Di Lorenzo's glancing header from Noa Lang's quickly taken corner was tipped behind by Di Gregorio. The hosts continued to maintain the pressure after the break, with Hojlund nearly bringing up his brace, only to fire high and wide after breezing past Lloyd Kelly."
Rasmus Hojlund scored twice, including an early finish after seven minutes and a 78th-minute headed winner, to give Napoli a 2-1 victory over Juventus. Napoli opened through Hojlund when he slid David Neres' teasing cross beyond Michele Di Gregorio and dominated large spells, producing chances such as Giovanni Di Lorenzo's header and a near-miss after Hojlund breezed past Lloyd Kelly. Juventus equalised just before the hour when Weston McKennie released Kenan Yildiz, who finished into the bottom-left corner. Neres' late cross was headed back across goal by McKennie, allowing Hojlund to nod home inside the six-yard box. Napoli move one point clear at the top of Serie A.
