Napoli pushed forward a first Serie A title in over three decades with Sunday’s 3-0 win over rock-bottom Cremonese, which provisionally moved the runaway league leaders 16 points clear.
A 33-year wait for the league crown looks closer to ending with each passing week. Once again, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen were the key men for Luciano Spalletti’s flamboyant team at the Stadio Maradona.
Winger Kvaratskhelia set Napoli on their way with a delightful individual effort in the 22nd minute on his 22nd birthday before Osimhen’s league-leading 17th goal of the season midway through the second half and an Eljif Elmas strike 11 minutes from the end.
Thanks to a sixth straight league win Napoli will be at least 13 points ahead of Inter Milan come Tuesday morning, their closest rivals travelling to crisis club Sampdoria for the final match of this round of fixtures on Monday night.
