Bologna are no match for steaming Napoli – even when he doesn’t score, Osimhen is the main man

Napoli is again at the top of the Serie A table with Milan. The Neapolitans justified their role as favorites tonight and outclassed Bologna with 3-0, so they share the first place with the Rossoneri. An incredible 28 out of a possible 30 points was probably not expected even by the most optimistic under mount Vesuvius.The goalless draw in Rome was quickly forgotten and Napoli returned to a path of triumph. From the start of the match, the intention of Napoli to dominate and the guests to defend was obvious. Victor Osimhen had his contribution in every dangerous situation in front of Bologna’s goal. He set up the first big chance for Lorenzo Insigne, but the captain of the Neapolitans hesitated when he came out in front of Lukasz Skorupski and the great chance went to waste.Sassuolo stun Juventus in injury timeThen another strong Neapolitan weapon came on the scene. Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz became a specialist in long-range shots. In the 17th minute, he scored a beautiful goal in his own style. From 20 meters, he sent an indefensible shot into the net of Bologna and started the agony for the guests. This was Ruiz’s ninth goal shot outside the penalty area in the last three seasons. He did not score a single goal from the penalty area in the same period. Long-distance come as a penalty to some players…And penalties have been a serious issue for Insigne this season. The Napoli captain missed as many as three of the five penalties he has shot since the beginning of the season. Tonight, he found a solution to that problem as well. He converted the first penalty in the 40th minute. Earlier, Medel’s hand-ball trying to outjump Osimhen was enough for a penalty to be ruled.Insigne also scored from the penalty spot in the 59th minute. Again, Osimhen did most of the work and forced Mbaye to commit a foul for the most severe punishment. For the rest of the match, Osimhen continued to cause problems for the guests, but tonight he was not lucky enough to continue his scoring streak.SERIE A – ROUND 10TuesdayVenezia – Salernitana 1-2 (1-0)/Aramu 14 – Bonnazoli 61, Schiavone 90+5/Spezia – Genoa 1-1 (0-0)/Sirigu 66 (og), Criscito 86/Milan – Torino 1-0 (1-0)/Giroud 14/WednedayJuventus – Sassuolo 1-2 (0-1)/McKennie 76 – Frattesi 44, Lopez 90+4/Sampdoria – Atalanta 1-3 (1-2)/Caputo 10 – Askildsen 17 (og), Zapata 21, Ilicic 90+5/Udinese – Verona 1-1 (1-0)/Success 3 – Barak 83/Lazio – Fiorentina 1-0 (0-0)/Pedro 52/Empoli – Inter 0-2 (0-1)/D’Ambrosio 34, Dimarco 66/Cagliari – Roma 1-2 (0-0)/Pavoletti 52 – Ibanez 71, Pellegrini 78/ThursdayNapoli – Bologna 3-0 (2-0)/Ruiz 18, Insigne 41 pen, 62 pen/
