Napoli reignited their Serie A title aspirations with a crucial 2-1 victory over Fiorentina at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday. This win narrows the gap to just one point behind league leaders Inter Milan.

The match saw Romelu Lukaku open the scoring in the 26th minute, capitalizing on a rebound after a fumble by Fiorentina goalkeeper David de Gea. Giacomo Raspadori doubled Napoli's lead in the 60th minute. Fiorentina's Albert Gudmundsson pulled one back six minutes later, but Napoli maintained their composure to secure the win.

Manager Antonio Conte praised his team's resilience, especially their ability to manage the game effectively after conceding a goal. He emphasized the importance of being more clinical in attack to capitalize on their dominance.

Midfielder Scott McTominay delivered an outstanding performance, creating two chances, completing four out of five dribbles, and executing three successful long passes. Since joining from Manchester United last summer, McTominay has been instrumental in Napoli's midfield, contributing six goals and four assists this season.

Inter Milan maintained their lead at the top with a dramatic 3-2 comeback win against Monza on Saturday, temporarily extending their advantage to four points. However, Napoli's victory reduced the gap back to a single point, intensifying the title race as the season progresses.

This win also ended Napoli's five-game winless streak, revitalizing their pursuit of the Scudetto. Fiorentina, meanwhile, remain seventh in the standings with 45 points, five points adrift of the European qualification spots.
