Four days after validating his place for the quarter-finals of the Champions League by easily dominating Eintracht Frankfurt (3-0), the leader and his Nigerian striker, already double scorer on Wednesday, showed no sign of fatigue to continue their triumphant sprint to the scudetto.
With always the same devastating desire, Victor Osimhen placed two winning headers, the first to quickly open the scoring on corner (9th), the second for 3-0 from the resumption (51st). The striker whose protective mask has become the fashionable accessory among Neapolitan fans passes the twenty goal mark in the league (21) to establish his place at the top of the scorers' table.
Kvaratskhelia also maintained its usual standards with some gestures of class, a goal, his 12th, on penalty kick (35th) and an assist, his 10th in the league (best passer), for the fourth goal by Tanguy Ndombélé (68th).
With 21 points ahead of Inter Milan eleven days from the end, the best attack and the best defense, Napoli will be able to think more and more about the great party of the scudetto which, at this rate, should take place at the beginning of May.

Inter Milan (2nd) will try in the evening to return to 18 points, but the Nerrazzurri will have to beat Juventus (7th).
Before the Italian derby (20:45, 19:45 GMT) will take place the derby of the capital (18:00, 17:00 GMT) between Lazio Roma (3rd) and AS Roma (5th). A Roman derby preceded by some scenes of tension near the Stadio Olimpico with throwing bottles and firecrackers from Giallorossi supporters towards the police, according to an AFP journalist.
