Juventus delivered a statement performance at the Allianz Stadium this Sunday, dismantling rivals Napoli 3-0 to officially break into the Serie A top four.
In a tactical masterclass by Luciano Spalletti, the Bianconeri overwhelmed Antonio Conte’s side, moving to 42 points and leapfrogging both Como 1907 and Roma in the standings. While Napoli remains in third place with 43 points, the gap at the top of the table has effectively evaporated.
David and Yildiz Direct the Show
The breakthrough came in the 22nd minute when Jonathan David proved why he is one of the most clinical strikers in Europe. Capitalizing on a precise ball at the edge of the six-yard box, the Canadian international left Alex Meret with no chance, scoring his first major “big game” goal for the club.
Juventus doubled their lead in the 77th minute through the rising star Kenan Yildiz. The Turkish youngster pounced on a rare defensive lapse in Napoli’s build-up play, showing elite composure to find the back of the net.
Kostic Puts the Game to Bed
To seal the victory, second-half substitute Filip Kostic produced a moment of magic. Replacing Cambiaso in the 86th minute, the Serbian winger unleashed a trademark long-range strike that flew past Meret, confirming a dominant evening in Turin.
Napoli’s Struggles and New Faces
Despite the return of Romelu Lukaku from the bench and the debut of Brazilian signing Giovane (arriving from Verona), Napoli struggled to break through Juve’s ironclad defense led by Bremer and Kalulu. Antonio Conte’s men now face a crucial week of reflection as their lead over the chasing pack disappears.
