Napoli stroll to 3-1 win at Fiorentina, Hojlund scores on debut

Napoli strolled to a comfortable 3-1 win away to Fiorentina on Saturday, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring on his debut as the defending champions continued their perfect start to the season and moved back to the top of the Serie A standings, Reuters reported.

Hojlund, unwanted by Manchester United, was a deadline day loan signing by Napoli, desperate for a striker after Romelu Lukaku's injury, and the former Atalanta man marked his return to Serie A with a dream debut for Antonio Conte's side.

Conte has already turned around the fortunes of another United outcast, Scott McTominay, with the Scottish midfielder named Serie A's player of last season, and on this display, the Napoli manager looks to have already worked his magic on the Dane.

Napoli are top on nine points, ahead of Juventus -- who defeated Inter Milan 4-3 earlier on Saturday -- on goal difference. Fiorentina, still seeking their first win of the season, remain on two points after three games, according to Reuters.
