Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giovanni Simeone were all on target for the Partenopei as they bounced back from their defeat by the same scoreline at Verona on matchd♕ay one.
The hosts had not lost their opening two games of a Serie A 💛season since doing so under Zdenek Zeman൲ in 2000-01, and they broke through in first-half stoppage time.
A lovely move culminated in Kvaratskhelia clipping a delightful ball into the ♎box for the onrushing Di Lorenzo t𝕴o control and fire home.
Kvaratskhelia doubled the lead with a quarter of an hour remaining; his shot after a fine solo run deflecting beyond Lukasz Skorupski in t𝓰he Bologna goal.
Napoli wrapped up the points in stoppage time when David Neres cut a cross back for fellow substit♔ute Simeone, who made no mistake from close range.

Napoli opened the 🐻scoring via an unlikely source in Di Lorenzo, though he converted t🥃he opportunity with aplomb.
The skipper is one of two defenders, along with Cristiano Biraghi, to score in each of the last seven Serie A season🍸s.
