Napoli thrash Torino to move second in Serie A + Highlight


Napoli thrashed Torino 5-0 on Sunday to climb into
second spot and keep some pressure on Serie A
leaders Juventus.
Jose Callejon gave Maurizio Sarri's men the lead
after seven minutes, beating Joe Hart with a low
finish after being sent clear into the box.
Torino then held firm until the hour mark when
Napoli doubled their lead, Dries Mertens pulling the
ball back for Lorenzo Insigne to finish well from
just inside the area.
The scoreline grew more emphatic as Napoli added
three goals in seven minutes, Insigne turning
provider for Mertens, who raced onto a throughball
before cutting inside to smash a shot past Hart.

Callejon turned home a left-wing Mertens cross at
the back post before the 30-year set up Piotr
Zielinski to complete the scoring with Napoli's
107th goal of the season, a club record,
ensuring they moved above Roma.
Sarri's side could still claim the title, but Juve will
secure their sixth straight Scudetti if they avoid
defeat against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico later
on Sunday.
