Napoli Cling on for Win Over 10-Man Lazio
MILAN (Dispatches) — Jose Callejon has ended his scoring drought as Napoli beat 10-man Lazio 2-1 to stay in touch with Serie A leader Juventus.
Arkadiusz Milik scored the other goal for Napoli and hit the woodwork twice as Napoli moved to within six points of Juventus.
"The new position he's playing in distances him a bit from what he was used to doing in the other system," Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti, who replaced Maurizio Sarri in the offseason, said about Callejon. "But apart from the goals he is a very useful player."
Napoli was without injured captain Marek Hamsik and Lorenzo Insigne, while Kalidou Koulibaly was suspended.
