Napoli continue revival
Napoli continued their Serie A revival under Gennaro Gattuso with a comfortable 2-1 home win over a sorry Torino side who slumped to a sixth consecutive league defeat on Saturday.
Napoli quickly took control and went ahead after 19 minutes when defender Kostas Manolas headed in from a Lorenzo Insigne free kick.
Insigne missed an easy chance to increase their lead and then saw an effort saved by Salvatore Sirigu before Arkadiusz Milik hit the crossbar as Napoli continued to dominate.
Still, Napoli took until the 82nd minute to add a second when Giovanni Di Lorenzo turned in a Dries Mertens cross at the back post.
Simone Edera pulled one back in stoppage time from a rare Torino attack.
Napoli are sixth with 39 points from 26 games, having at one stage dropped to 13th, while Torino are 15th.
