Dries Mertens and Napoli were back in business, sweeping Benevento aside despite the late Kalidou Koulibaly red card.
The Belgian celebrated his first start in 74 days by breaking the deadlock, sticking out a foot to redirect Matteo Politano’s deflected effort.
Piotr Zielinski had a goal disallowed because Lorenzo Insigne was offside and interfering with the goalkeeper’s view of the shot.

Insigne also skimmed the far post before floating in a cross that Politano somehow bundled over the line in a chaotic move.
Koulibaly received a rare red card with his second bookable offence.
