Piotr Zielinski and Emanuele Giaccherini eventually managed to batter down the Genoa defence as Napoli secured a 2-0 victory.
Dries Mertens was inspirational with a mazy run and assist on a silver platter at the Stadio San Paolo.
It’s a good way for the Partenopei to warm up for the Champions League trip to Real Madrid next week and temporarily puts them in second place awaiting Roma’s result.
Ivan Juric’s Grifone were unlucky, losing Santiago Gentiletti and Miguel Veloso to injury in the first half.
