Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri told his players to ignore the Serie A standings after they went second with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Genoa.
Napoli will lose second spot to either Lazio or Juventus before the weekend is over but the victory, and indeed the manner of it, at a notoriously difficult venue suggested Napoli are perhaps ready to take the next step.
Slovakia midfielder Marek Hamsik scored the only goal of the game, heading home a free-kick from Walter Gargano after only 25 minutes.
Keep up the good work, this is really cool. Good old Napoli back in business.
