Napoli secured a 1-0 victory over Cagliari thanks to Scott McTominay's early goal after just 90 seconds. The Scotland international tapped in a loose ball following a cross from the right, and Napoli never looked back in their dominance at the Sardegna Arena.

The win moved Napoli into second place in Serie A, marking their fourth consecutive victory under Antonio Conte. Cagliari offered no threat throughout, failing to register a single shot on target as their winless league run extended to seven games.

With only eight rounds remaining, Cagliari sits six points above the relegation zone but faces increasing danger with five teams below them holding games in hand. In positive news for Conte, Kevin De Bruyne completed his first 90-minute match since his October hamstring injury, providing a boost to Napoli's title aspirations.
