Napoli edge closer to the Scudetto after a convincing 2-0 win over Torino at the Stadio Maradona. With Inter having dropped points earlier in the day, Antonio Conte’s men capitalised in style, moving three points clear at the top with just four matches remaining. The night’s hero was once again Scott McTominay, who netted both goals and continues to be the unexpected talisman for the league leaders.
The home side, spurred on by over 50,000 fans and the chance to strike a decisive blow in the title race, wasted no time. Within seven minutes, McTominay found the back of the net with a clinical finish inside the box. Forced to adjust tactics due to a late illness for Raspadori, Napoli shifted to a 4-3-3, while Torino had to replace Ricci during the warm-up.
The rhythm remained high, but it was McTominay again who doubled the lead before half-time, converting a pass from Politano with another low-driven shot. Torino’s best opportunity fell to Adams, but he failed to capitalise. The second half saw Napoli control the game with composure and confidence, relying on a rock-solid defence and seeing the match out without major threats - Billing’s header off the crossbar being the only scare. Meret recorded his third straight clean sheet, a testament to the side's defensive strength. Conte remained cautious but hopeful: “If we manage to pull it off, it would be extraordinary".
