Napoli hosted Cremonese in Italian Serie A and secured a convincing 4-0 victory. Antonio Conte's side kept their title race hopes alive with this result and temporarily delayed Inter's early championship celebration. Goal.com reports.
Scott McTominay opened the scoring with a powerful strike as early as the 3rd minute. Before halftime, Rasmus Hojlund and Kevin De Bruyne also found the net, extending the hosts'advantage.
In the early stages of the second half, Alisson Santos set the final score.
Since the 2012-13 season, only Marco Reus among midfielders had achieved a similar result.
Napoli currently sit on 69 points in the table. While Inter remain the main title contenders, the Neapolitan club's victory prevented i Nerazzurri from celebrating the title this weekend.
Inter must now pick up the necessary points in upcoming matches against Torino and Parma. Napoli still have games remaining against Como, Bologna, Pisa, and Udinese. To maintain hopes of the title, Conte's team needs to win all their matches and wait for rivals to drop points.
