Listen to the story

Napoli delivered a dominant 3-0 performance against Frosinone at the Maradona stadium, sparking jubilant celebrations among the home crowd.

Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was the standout performer, netting twice during the match, while winger Lang contributed the third goal to complete the rout.

The victory also marked the return of Scott McTominay to Napoli's squad under coach Massimiliano Allegri, adding further depth to the team as the Serie A season continues.

The match, which formed part of the ongoing Italian top-flight fixture list, had been previewed with predictions, broadcast details, and expected lineups ahead of kickoff.

Despite the heavy defeat, Frosinone's coach, Alvini, acknowledged that Napoli had fully earned their win. He nonetheless suggested that the final scoreline did not entirely reflect the balance of play, describing it as "too ample" a margin given his team's effort.

This result continues to strengthen Napoli's position as a formidable side on home soil this season, with their attacking players finding consistent form in front of goal.

For Frosinone, the loss represents a setback as they look to regroup and recover points in upcoming fixtures against other Serie A opponents.

The return of McTominay is likely to be seen as a positive development for Allegri, who can now call upon a more complete squad as Napoli pursue their ambitions in the league this season.
