Great to see Insigne really put it together on a consistent basis. Huge talent and if he keeps this form up he’ll be a pivotal figure for Italy next summer.
Reina pulls off a smart save from Kuba.
Higuain has his ankles clipped just as he was drawing on a shot outside the box. Yellow card to Badelj.
Insigne to take.
Vecino has impressed me lately. Due a call up for Uruguay shortly I’d say.
Napoli 1 up and very nearly two there through Callejon.
Kalinic is in serious form. Great finish to level matters.
Unreal atmosphere at the San Siro now. Inter bombarding the Juventus goal.
Juve’s back three are immense.
Barzagli. 
Khedira is a Rolls Royce of a midfielder.
That was an immensely enjoyable 0-0. Juve were class, Barzagli is some defender, the timing of his tackles and calmness on the ball is brilliant to watch, he’s deceptively fast.
Khedira completely bossed the centre of the pitch and Buffon showed he is still the best keeper about.
Napoli are an absolute joy to watch, laying siege to the Chievo goal right now.
Higuain has hit the post twice.
Maurizio Sarri.
What a goal from Higuain, gets across that near post and smashes it in at the near post. Outstanding finish from an outstanding player.
Juve 1 down against Sassuolo.
Chiellini sent off.
Juve lost 1-0.
I’m ruling them out of the title chase now.
Wins for Napoli, Milan and Fioretina.
Just over a 1/4 of the way through the season now and it’s looking very exciting with little between the top teams. Napoli and Roma have been the standout teams by an absolute mile but Inter and Fiorentina have been grinding results out and Milan have just put an important six points together in their last two games.
As an aside, Milan have had a 16 year old in goal over the last two games - Gianluigi Donnarruma.
It has taken Sarri to get Napoli back to their best again. The Big Fat Spanish waiter almost destroyed that club. He alienated Hamsik, did nothing to help Insigne when he needed an arm around the shoulder, and took away all their attacking emphasis, Higuain was half the man under him. Now Higuain can’t stop scoring, Hamsik and Insigne are like men reborn, Allan is creating chances left right and centre from midfield. Guys at the back, like Ghoulam and Khoubialy are playing best football since they joined. And then he’s brought Reina back between the sticks, the safe pair of hands. Napoli could well win the Scudetto, if they don’t they’ll go mightily close. I’m temped to stick a few bob on them.
