Napoli beat Frosinone to keep pace with Juventus

By Daily Sports on December 9, 2018

Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik bagged a brace as Napoli warmed up for next week’s Champions League clash with Liverpool by easing past promoted Frosinone 4-0 in Serie A on Saturday, but AS Roma threw away a two-goal lead to be held 2-2 by nine-man Cagliari amid chaotic scenes in Sardinia.

Piotr Zielinski opened after just seven minutes in the Stadio San Paulo for Napoli with Algerian Adam Ounas adding a stunning second from a distance in the first half before Milik’s second half double.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side consolidated second place and replied to Juventus who had pulled 11 points clear on Friday with a 1-0 win over Inter Milan, who are third six points adrift of Napoli.

“Games like today have all the ingredients of a trap, especially ahead of a Champions League game,” said the former Chelsea boss Ancelotti.

“We can start thinking about Liverpool now.”

Goalkeeper Alex Meret got his first start after breaking his arm following his summer move from Udinese, with midfielder Amin Younes also making his debut off the bench.

Algerian international Faouzi Ghoulam played for the first time in over a year after suffering a knee injury, and provided the assists for both Milik’s goals.

Poland’s Zielinski opened from an angle early for his third goal this season, with Ounas doubling their advantage with a searing drive five minutes before the break.

Napoli squandered chances for a third with a Milik volley deflected wide and Ghoulam sending over when alone of front of goal.

But Milik headed in the third on 68 minutes off a Ghoulam corner with the Algerian defender setting up the Polish striker’s seventh goal this season five minutes from time. (SuperSport)
