OSIMHEN AND KVARA REIGNITE NAPOLI'S SEASON
Napoli got their first win under new manager Francesco Calzona, defeating Sassuolo 6-1, with a hat-trick from Victor Osimhen, a brace from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and another from Amir Rrahmani.
The result keeps the champions in ninth but they are now just eight points off the top four.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, drop into the relegation zone on goal difference and appear to be facing a serious battle to stay in Serie A.

Osimhen completes Napoli brace with tidy finish against Sassuolo - 'Superb fightback'
57'
A NON-CONTEST
The game is over and both sides know it, with Napoli now just knocking it about with ease. They could get a few more if they fancy it.
BAPTISM OF FIRE
You'd have to feel for Emiliano Bigica, who's managing his first-ever Serie A match. He just so happened to have met the Napoli of last season.
51'
KVARA MAKES IT FIVE!
Napoli are having fun now. Osimhen plays a searching ball for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who takes his time before dribbling around two defenders and giving the keeper no chance from just inside the area.

HAT-TRICK HERO!
Osimhen completes his hat-trick with a cool finish inside the box after some more slack Sassuolo defence. What a night for the Nigerian!

SECOND 45 UNDERWAY
WIN AND EUROPE IS BACK ON?
As stands, Napoli have moved level with Lazio on 40 points. That is just eight points off a top four spot. Could they? A win here would be a start.
HALF TIME
After Sassuolo took a shock lead, Napoli got into gear and look in good shape to take home a crucial three points.

GOAL FOR NAPOLI!
What did I say? Osimhen gets another, stylishly finishing from Politano's throughball. It's a long road back now for the home side.

BIZARRE
Osimhen's speculative long-range shot saw Sassuolo keeper Andrea Consigli fall back into his net, seemingly breaking it off the post. Several minutes and some sellotape later, and we are back up and running!
