Napoli’s crisis and nightmares continue unabated even in the first match of the new year on the Turin pitch. At the Olympic Stadium the Granata overwhelm the Neapolitans 3-0 thanks to goals from Sanabria, Vlasic and Buongiorno. A black afternoon also spoiled by the expulsion of Mazzocchi four minutes into his debut with the blue shirt. Juric’s team thus rises to 27 points in the standings, moving to -1 from the men of the suspended Mazzarri, who even slipped to ninth position and once again without a goal.
