Napoli thrive on back of Cavani

Fernando Torres and Edinson Cavani — tonight’s match in Naples is packed with intriguing contrasts but none perhaps as telling as the contrasting fortunes of two strikers.

Starved of service but also seemingly scared to shoot, Torres is literally a misfit.

Cavani, by contrast, is back to his best. Two goals in Florence on Saturday night, both set up by the clever passing of Marek Hamsik, brought his total for the season to 19. Ezequiel Lavezzi added a third in stoppage time with a brilliant run from midfield.
