#5 Hit - Lorenzo Insigne:

Lorenzo Insigne did well for Napoli

Lorenzo Insigne will be a totally disappointed man to not pick up the awarded penalty in the 84th minute. The Italian international rattled the ball at the post when Napoli were given an unconvincing penalty for Alex Sandro's handball inside the six-yard box.

The 27-year-old, who took over the captain's armband from Marek Hamsik, was one of the best players on the pitch despite spurning a late spot-kick to lead the game. He was tormenting Joao Cancelo through the left wing and went past the defence at times with ease.

Napoli's skipper was relentlessly trying to equalize the score for the hosts as he totally took six shots throughout the game. He completed three take-ons and gave Juventus defence a hard time at the back.

It was his delightful delivery which found Jose Callejon inside the penalty box who scored the only goal for the Blues. Certainly, he was one of the bright sparks in Napoli's loss to the Serie A leaders.
