Overview

• Rasmus Hojlund scored in the 75th minute to seal a 2-1 victory over Genoa that lifted Napoli to first place on goal difference over Roma.
• He has four goals in six appearances for Napoli, including three consecutive strikes at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
• The move from Manchester United is a season-long loan that includes an obligation to buy next summer, making his early form especially significant.
• Italian outlets praised his decisiveness, with La Gazzetta dello Sport calling him Napoli’s “true centre-forward,” while Conte said the 22-year-old has room to improve and the potential to become a star.
• With Lukaku sidelined by a high-grade thigh injury, Hojlund has led the line and delivered crucial goals for the defending champions.
