Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne scored as Napoli kept Inter Milan from clinching the Serie A title this week.
On Friday, Napoli defeated Cremonese 4-0, forcing Serie A leaders Inter Milan to wait at least another week to celebrate the league title.
Scott McTominay opened the scoring after three minutes via Kevin De Bruyne's assist, with Rasmus Hojlund's shot deflecting off Filippo Terracciano for 2-0 before halftime.
Rebounding from a recent loss to Lazio, Napoli boss Antonio Conte told DAZN before kickoff that the squad "understood what didn't work," though Emil Audero saved a late McTominay penalty.
