Roma Vs. Napoli: It’s Edinson Cavani Again, Scoring His Twentieth Serie A Goal

Edinson Cavani has done it again, scoring his 20th as El Matador puts Napoli up 2-0 over Roma. Ezequiel Lavezzi nicked a header on to Paolo Cannavaro, who was charging up the right side to help Napoli in offense. The center back put in one of the best crosses seen in recent memory, and with Cavani charging forward the goal was nearly inevitable. Cavani barged through the Roma defense to put the ball into the back of the net, and, Napoli fans hope, the game out of reach for the home side.

Should Napoli hold on to the lead for the next few minutes, they’ll once again move within three of AC Milan, but even more significantly, they’ll end Roma’s unbeaten streak at home, with the Giallorossi having kept the Stadio Olimpico as a fortress this season. The loss will also leave Roma even further adrift of the Champions League positions, sitting three back from crosstown rivals Lazio.
