The Serie A match between Napoli and Lazio ended with three players being sent off after a huge brawl broke out between both teams.<\/p>\n
Reigning Italian Top League champions Napoli won 2-0 against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Former Manchester United star Scott McTominay has starred again for Napoli. However, this time he did not get on the scoresheet and did not add to his record of five goals so far this season.<\/p>\n
Napoli’s goals from Leonardo Spinazzola and Amir Rahmani ensured Antonio Conte’s side secured the three points. There was also some major drama near the end of the contest.<\/p>\n

In fact, it started after a scuffle broke out between players from both clubs and a flashpoint occurred between Lazio defender Adam Marusic and Napoli full-back Pasquale Mazzocchi, who came off the bench.<\/p>\n
While Lazio had possession, Marusic and Mazzocchi both began to push each other, and eventually a scuffle broke out between players and staff from both teams, causing referee Davide Massa to intervene and stop the match. Once the situation calmed down, Massa continued to issue red cards to both Marusic and Mazzocchi.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Lazio star Tijani Noslin was also shown a red card after receiving two bookings early in the game. The latter was born in the 81st minute.<\/p>\n

As a result, Lazio not only lost 0-2, but also had Marusic and Noslin sent off, leaving them with just nine men. United loanee Rasmus H\u00f8jlund started for Napoli, but came on as a substitute in the 86th minute and was replaced by Noah Lang.<\/p>\n
Napoli’s victory leaves them second in Serie A, with McTominay, Hoylund and others now one point behind leaders AC Milan. They won the Scudetto twice in three years.<\/p>\n
Napoli’s next match is against Verona in Serie A on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Lazio, on the other hand, are ninth in the table and will face Fiorentina on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Speculation has swirled in recent weeks that United could be interested in re-signing McTominay after an excellent season at Napoli. Meanwhile, Hoylund has spent this season on loan with the Serie A giants, and there are rumors that he could move to Italy on a permanent deal next summer.<\/p>\n
