Another game, another Napoli win, another Cremonese defeat. 51 points now separate the two sides who sit at the opposite ends of Serie A, with the hosts cruising to a comfortable win
GAME PETERING OUT
This has been the most unremarkable period of injury time I think I've ever seen

GOAL! NAPOLI 3-0 CREMONESE (Elmas).
The substitute could barely have made a better introduction! He bursts forward before passing to Di Lorenzo. The substitute returns the lay-off, and Elmas smashes home from inside the box. Game. Over.
ANOTHER CREMONESE SUB
Christian Acella comes on for his Serie A debut, replacing Soualiho Meite

GOAL! NAPOLI 2-0 CREMONESE (Osimhen).
Well that will kill it off once and for all! Carnesecchi made a stunning save initially to push away Di Lorenzo's header, but Napoli work the ball back to Osimhen who literally cannot miss as he basically taps home on the goal line
SECOND HALF HASN'T REALLY GOT GOING
I have to say, this second period hasn't had anything like the buzz of the first. Perhaps that goal before the break has killed things off?
DOUBLE CREMONESE CHANGE
Pickel and Frank Tsadjout are replaced by Ciofani and Michele Castagnetti

NAPOLI NOT QUITE AS FLUENT
I think it's fair to say the Champions Elect haven't hit their stride as of yet in this second half. They'll be keen to get a second to put the game to bed
