AFCON 2025
Napoli came from behind to beat Juventus 2-1 in Serie A, to extend their lead at the top of the table to six points over second-place Inter, who have two games-in-hand.
Despite a strong start, Napoli found themselves trailing after André-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s mistake led to Randal Kolo Muani’s clinical finish.
However, Antonio Conte’s men refused to give up. Anguissa made up for his earlier error with a clinical header in the 57th minute, meeting Matteo Politano’s cross to level the score.
The turning point came when Scott McTominay earned a penalty, which Romelu Lukaku coolly converted to give Napoli the lead.
The hosts held strong to secure their seventh consecutive victory, going six points clear and securing a massive psychological advantage after navigating two tough games in 7 days.
This defeat marked Juventus’ first loss in 22 league matches this season, adding to their wretched run of just one win from their last seven games across all competitions.
