Osimhen misses penalty as Napoli beat Juv 2-1


Giacomo Raspadori snatched a late winner, redirecting Victor Osimhen's rebound penalty in the 88th minute to give Napoli victory over Juventus at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona Sunday night.
As it is, ten months and three coaches later, Napoli seems to finally have rediscovered the form that took them to last season's Serie A title.
The champions followed up their 6-1 thrashing of Sassuolo in midweek with a 2-1 victory over second-placed Juventus on Sunday.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had put Napoli ahead late in the first half, before Federico Chiesa equalised with an angled shot with nine minutes remaining.
Napoli are unbeaten since Francesco Calzona replaced Walter Mazzarri as coach less than two weeks ago.
Mazzarri was hired 12 matches into the season to replace Rudi Garcia, who was chosen when Luciano Spalletti left after leading Napoli to their first Serie A title since Diego Maradona played for the club in 1990.
Napoli, who had been on course for one of the worst title defences in league history, moved up to seventh place, while Juventus remain second despite winning just once in their last six matches.
