Napoli
kept their hopes of Champions League progress alive with a 3-0 win over
Shakhtar Donetsk in Group F on Tuesday.
A brilliant strike from Lorenzo
Insigne opened the Serie A leaders' scoring in the 56th minute, the Italy
international jinking in from the left and then firing a right-foot drive into
the top corner from 25 yarsd out.
Napoli's Polish midfielder
Piotr Zielinski missed a chance to double their lead when he shot over the bar
after a defensive mix-up left him in a promising position.
But minutes later Zielinksi
made amends, confidently slotting into the far bottom corner after a smart
exchange with Dries Mertens.
Seven minutes from the end,
Mertens made sure of the win when Shakhtar keeper Andriy Pyatov palmed out a
Raul Albiol header straight to the Belgian forward who nodded home.
It left Napoli third on six
points, three behind Shakhtar Donetsk, before the final round of games which
sees Napoli away at Feyenoord and the Ukrainians at home to group winners
Manchester City.
