Dodô, with 3 completed dribbles. Next: Marin Pongracic 2, Moise Kean 2.

Dodô provided Fiorentina's main spark in take-ons with 3 completed dribbles, ahead of Marin Pongracic and Moise Kean with 2 each. Even so, that individual effort could not prevent Napoli's away win.

Which Napoli player won the most aerial duels?

Frank Anguissa, with 6 aerial duels won. Next: Alessandro Buongiorno 3, Scott McTominay 3.

Frank Anguissa dominated the air with 6 aerial duels won, doubling the 3 recorded by both Alessandro Buongiorno and Scott McTominay. That aerial command helped protect Napoli's lead.

How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
