Hojlund's Winner Sends Napoli Top as Conte-Backed Revival Continues

The Manchester United loanee says he is "just doing my job," crediting Antonio Conte's touchline guidance for his recent edge.

Overview

Napoli beat Genoa 2-1 after falling behind, with Jeff Ekhator opening the scoring, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa leveling, and Rasmus Hojlund pouncing on a rebound in the 75th minute past Nicola Leali.
The strike lifted Hojlund to four goals since his summer move from Manchester United, following a midweek Champions League double.
The result, combined with AC Milan's 0-0 draw at Juventus, put Napoli first in Serie A on goal difference, level on points with Roma.
Hojlund told DAZN he is focused on daily work to help the team and said Conte urged him to "use my head" when he appeared tired.
On loan from United, the 22-year-old scored with his only shot and posted 85% passing over 82 minutes, according to Sofascore data.
