Match report
The Partenopei were defeated for the second time in four days by the Biancoceleste, who also triumphed 3-1 in their Coppa Italia last-16 tie at Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.
Marco Baroni's side won again when Gustav Isaksen scored a superb winner eleven minutes from time to move them level on points with third-placed Inter.
Scott McTominay and Isaksen closed in the first half, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia shot narrowly wide just before half-time.
Both sides hit the woodwork after the restart; Fisayo Dele-Bashiru hit the crossbar from distance, while Frank Anguissa's header was denied by the post.
However, the visitors took all three points in the 79th minute. Tijjani Noslin – Thursday's hat-trick hero – found Isaksen, who completed a quick counter by curling a beautiful effort from 20 yards past Alex Meret.

Data debrief: Three is the magic number for Lazio
For the first time in their history, Lazio have won three consecutive Serie A matches at Napoli.
Their sixth win this season by one goal – more than any other team in the division – they also scored twelve goals in the league, in the 75th minute or later.
Isaksen was the match winner with his third goal of the season, equaling his score for the entire 2023/2024 season.
