Romelu Lukaku played a pivotal role in Napoli's 3-0 victory over Empoli, contributing a goal and two assists. The Belgium striker's impressive season performance includes 12 goals and 10 assists in Serie A, reinforcing Napoli's pursuit of league leaders Inter Milan.
Under the guidance of coach Antonio Conte, Lukaku has not only excelled in scoring but also showcased his playmaking abilities, notably assisting Scott McTominay in two of Napoli's goals. McTominay, with eight goals in his debut Serie A season, benefited from Lukaku's service to secure a brace in the match.
The win keeps Napoli within three points of Inter at the top of the table as they aim to secure their second Serie A title in three seasons. With a less challenging fixture list ahead, Napoli remains focused on maintaining the pressure on Inter in the title race.
