Rasmus Hojlund struck again for Napoli with the winning goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory over struggling Genoa, a strike which alongside AC Milan drawing 0-0 at Juventus lifted the Serie A champions into top spot.

Fresh from his midweek double against Sporting Lisbon, Hojlund was on hand to score on the rebound with 15 minutes remaining as Napoli came from behind to claim three points in Naples.
The 22-year-old pounced after Andre-Frank Anguissa’s powerful shot was pushed out by Genoa goalkeeper Nicola Leali, taking his club tally to four goals since moving to Napoli from Manchester United.
Napoli have 15 points from their six league matches and lead Roma, 2-1 winners at Fiorentina, on goal difference.
“It’s my job and the team’s job to win as many games as possible so it’s just important to keep working hard, recovering and focus-sing on the next match," Hojlund told DAZN.
Coach Antonio Conte had been considering taking off Hojlund before the Denmark striker netted the winner, due to his midweek exertions in the Champions League.
