Having won all eight of their most recent Serie A games, conceding just two goals in the process, Napoli’s confidence would’ve been sky high going into Friday night’s game at home to Lazio.
However, the visitors showed what they were all about by beating the Neapolitans on their own patch.
The winner, when it arrived, was well worth waiting for too.
There was 67 minutes on the clock when the ball fell to Lazio’s Matias Vecino, positioned outside of Napoli’s box.
The Uruguayan didn’t need asking twice as he leathered the ball beyond a stunned Alex Meret in the Napoli goal.
