Bologna

What happened. Stanislav Lobotka scored the goal that settled Napoli's win over Bologna at the Stadio Maradona. It was only his fourth goal for the club in 244 appearances since arriving in 2020.

• Lobotka admitted he strayed well out of position for the decisive goal.
• He credited Favasuli for a lovely ball from wide.
• Napoli's win could be overshadowed by Kevin De Bruyne's late injury scare.

“I don't know what I was doing up there, I don't usually do it”

— Stanislav Lobotka

Napoli will hope the win is not overshadowed by Kevin De Bruyne's late injury scare.
