Matteo Politano and Piotr Zielinski further fueled Napoli’s resurgence with goals in the 57th and 61st minutes, respectively, leaving Monza reeling.
Although the home team pulled one back through Andrea Colpani’s strike in the 62nd minute, Giacomo Raspadori managed to seal the victory for Napoli with a clinical finish six minutes later.
