Lorenzo Insigne scored his first Serie A goal from open play of the season, giving Napoli the lead in their showdown with Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio.
The captain drilled into the near bottom corner from outside the box at the Stadio Olimpico to break the deadlock.

It also broke his drought of Serie A goals from open play, as all six of his goals so far this term had been penalties.
If we discount the attempt that was a rebound from a saved penalty against Fiorentina, then the last time Insigne scored in Serie A from open play was during a 5-1 win over Udinese on May 11, 2021.
What a hit 🤩
