Match report

With La Dea out of action this weekend due to their Italian Super Cup commitments, Antonio Conte's side took full advantage, with David Neres, Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay on target at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

The Partenopei broke through just before the half-hour mark, when Neres linked up with Lukaku and skipped three challenges before firing past David de Gea.

Moise Kean saw an equalizer disallowed for a foul in the build-up, before Napoli doubled their lead within nine minutes of the restart.

Matias Moreno brought down Frank Anguissa in the penalty area and Lukaku calmly sent De Gea the wrong way from twelve meters.

Another defensive error allowed the visitors to score a third goal, with Pietro Comuzzo's poor clearance of Anguissa's cross falling to McTominay to seal a fourth straight win for his side.

13 – Since his first season in #SerieA (2019/20), Romelu #Lukaku has amassed 13 games scoring at least 1 goal and providing an assist, a joint-high in the league during this period. Multitasking.#FiorentinaNapoli

Data debrief: Lucky 13 for Lukaku

Napoli defeated Fiorentina in Serie A for the second time in history by a margin of three or more goals, thanks in part to a 3-0 win in February 2012.

The Partenopei have kept a clean sheet in six of their first ten Serie A away games of the season for the first time since 1988/89.

Since his first season in Serie A (2019-2020), Lukaku has now provided at least one goal and assist in thirteen league games, a joint high in the league during this period.
