Jonathan David Scores as Juventus Defeats Napoli 3-0 in Serie A

updated November 26, 2023

Jonathan David continued his recent resurgence in form, scoring for Juventus in a dominant 3-0 victory over defending Serie A champions Napoli on Sunday. The goal marks David’s fourth in his last five appearances,bolstering his confidence ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup,which Canada is co-hosting with the United States and Mexico.

the match saw a tactical battle between Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti and Napoli’s Antonio Conte, both familiar with their opponents from previous tenures. Spalletti, who led napoli to the Serie A title last season, secured the win against Conte, who previously managed Juventus to three consecutive league titles.

David opened the scoring midway through the first half, converting a well-placed chest-down pass from Manuel Locatelli. Juventus continued to press, with Khephren Thuram hitting the post earlier and Francesco Conceicao having a shot cleared off the line by Napoli defender Alessandro Buongiorno.

Second-half goals from Kenan Yildiz and Filip Kostic sealed the victory for Juventus, moving them level on points with fourth-place Roma in the Serie A standings. Napoli remains in third place, three points behind AC Milan.

David’s Return to Form

David’s goal is a positive sign for both Juventus and the Canadian national team. He scored on his Serie A debut in August but experienced a scoring drought before finding the net again in November against Sassuolo and Cremonese. He also provided an assist in Juventus’ Champions League win against Benfica on Wednesday. His recent performances suggest he is regaining the form that made him a key player for Lille in France.

The season has presented challenges for David, including a mid-season managerial change with Spalletti replacing Igor Tudor in October.

Lukaku’s Debut & Other Serie A Results

The match also marked the season debut for Napoli’s Romelu lukaku, who came on as a substitute after recovering from a preseason injury. Lukaku, however, was unable to capitalize on a scoring prospect set up by Rasmus Hojlund.
