The new club record for most consecutive wins since Maradona was playing for them in the 1980s has been set by Napoli.
Fitting, that on what would've been Diego Maradona's 62nd birthday, Napoli are putting on another masterclass.
At this stage, it's not surprising. But after the pre-game tribute, Diego would be proud.#NapoliSassuolo pic.twitter.com/firjQm2C63
