Juventus 1-2 Napoli: Kolo Muani Scores On Debut But Lukaku Leads Napoli To Comeback

Randal Kolo Muani marked his debut for Juventus with a stunning first-half goal, but Napoli fought back to secure a 2-1 win in their Serie A match on Saturday. The game saw Kolo Muani score just six touches after a deflection, but Napoli equalized through Andre-Frank Anguissa's header early in the second half. Romelu Lukaku then converted a penalty after assisting Scott McTominay, sealing the comeback for the Serie A leaders. Napoli extended their lead at the top, six points clear of Inter Milan, while Juventus remained in fifth place, outside the Champions League spots.
