Napoli Edge The Biancocelesti in Heated Clash With Three Sendings-Off

Early efforts from Spinazzola and Amir Rrahmani delivered a win for Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico in a match overshadowed by multiple sendings-off.

Three points pushes Conte's side to within a single point of Serie A pace-setters Milan, who won on Friday. Inter Milan occupy third place but can return to the summit with a win in their evening match.

Control Despite Injury Woes

Despite missing a number of key players, Napoli controlled the game with patient attacks. The opener arrived when Politano's cross was volleyed home by Spinazzola at the back post.

The lead was doubled in the first half as the defender guided a header from a Politano set-piece into the bottom corner. They went close to a third goal shortly after when Eljif Elmas saw his effort crash against the woodwork.

Tempers Flare and Red Cards

The second half saw further worry for the away side when a winger was forced off. This incident triggered a short altercation, leading to bookings for Rrahmani and Lazio's Noslin—who subsequently was shown a second caution for a foul.

"My compliments to the lads, playing with this level of technical ability and physical strength while preventing Lazio have control is not easy," remarked the winning head coach. "Our performance was at a exceptional level of quality."

Tensions flared again late on as players from both sides were embroiled in a fierce exchange, prompting the coach to step in. The two players were shown red cards for their involvement in the incident.
