Napoli walked to a comfortable 3-1 victory to Fiorentina on Saturday, where Rasmus Hojlund scored on his debut while the title defender continued his perfect start to the season and went back to the top of the Serie A classification.
Hojlund, undesirable by Manchester United, was a deadline day loan signed by Napoli, desperately looking for a striker after the injury of Romelu Lukaku, and the former Atalanta man marked his return to Serie A with a dream debut in front of Antonio Conte.
Conte has already reversed the fortunes of another United -Out -Outcast, Scott McTominay, with the Scottish midfielder called Series A’s player from last season, and on this display the Napoli manager seems to have already worked his magic on the DANE.
Napoli is at nine points, for Juventus, who previously defeated Inter Milan on Saturday on goal balance. Fiorentina, who is still looking for his first victory of the season, remains on two points after three games.
Fiorentina became early in a few hectic scrambling at the back. Keeper David de Gea saved from Giovanni di Lorenzo and Robin Gosens knew Hojlund’s follow -up effort, but Pietro Comuzzo then polluted Frank Anguisissa to admit a punishment.

Kevin De Bruyne stepped up and sent De Gea the wrong way to give Napoli a sixth minute a lead.
The visitor doubled his benefit eight minutes later after a defense split by Leonardo Spinazzola who raced Hojlund in the area, and the Dane threw the ball cool along the Gea.
Napoli threatened to run a riot, with Hojlund put a pass back to De Bruyne in the area, but this time the Gea made a great save from the bent effort of the Belgian and the host went in the break in 2-0.
Six minutes after the interval, Napoli made it three with a different debut goal. Matteo Politano forced the Gea in a pointed white save, and from the resulting corner the withdrawal of Anguisissa was tapped by Sam Beukema in the six-year box.
Politano hit the upright with a rebound shot after the Gea had saved from McTominay, and while Napoli admitted his first goal of the season when Luca Ranieri withdrew one for Fiorentina with 11 minutes, it came away with a well-deserved three points after an impressive performance in Florence.
