For the first time since January 25th, Napoli experienced the thrill of winning in Serie A.

After a month and a half of waiting for a victory, they remain firmly in the race for the Scudetto. Following a 2:1 victory over Fiorentina, they trail league leaders Inter by just one point.

Meanwhile, the current champions have also struggled for form this season, making the title race wide open. The upcoming weekend is crucial, with Inter set to face Atalanta and Napoli heading to Venice…

In their clash against the “Viola,” the “Azure” showcased the performance of a title-contending team. They exhibited dominance, taking an early lead through a goal from Romelu Lukaku, and later secured their lead with Lukaku assisting Giacomo Raspadori.

However, the match shifted drastically when Albert Guðmunsson pulled one back in the 66th minute, making it 2:1 with about twenty minutes remaining.

Fiorentina pushed for an equalizer but failed to challenge Napoli sufficiently, who finally celebrated a victory after a streak of four draws and one loss.

“We deserved this win and should have wrapped it up earlier because we all know we’ve conceded late goals recently, squandering leads,” stated Antonio Conte.

Napoli had previously rallied to earn a commendable draw in the derby against Inter…

“I consistently tell my team that there’s room for improvement. I mention this because I believe in their potential. With my experience managing top teams, I can look every player in the eye and express my thoughts,” Conte remarked.

Lukaku netted his first goal since January 25th against Juventus.

“Romelu is enhancing his game, and this might have been his best performance in a Napoli jersey. He requires confidence, and we provide it because when he is at his best, it benefits us,” Conte added.

Roma continues its impressive form in Serie A, remaining unbeaten in the last 12 matches. More importantly, the “She-Wolf” has won, securing their fifth consecutive victory in Tuscany against Empoli.

Claudio Ranieri’s side was superior, clinching the win with a goal from Matijas Soule just 22 seconds into the match.
