Favasuli matches Cannavaro and Grava's Napoli assist record
The 2004-born winger came on for Politano at half-time in Napoli-Bologna and set up Lobotka's goal on his Serie A debut for the club.
Favasuli made an instant mark on his Napoli history books. Sent on by Allegri for Politano at half-time in Napoli-Bologna, the 2004-born winger set up Lobotka's goal that broke the deadlock in the 66th minute, on his first Serie A appearance in the shirt.
The assist puts him level with Paolo Cannavaro and Gianluca Grava, the only other Napoli defenders to have set up a goal on their league debut for the club.

The half-time change shaped the game well before the goal: Favasuli came on with confidence, cut through Bologna's defensive block and produced the decisive pass twenty minutes before it counted. Allegri now has another option on the flank, though Di Lorenzo remains the first choice there. Favasuli's next chance to build on it comes after the international break, away to Fiorentina at the Franchi on Sunday 20 September at 12:30 CET.
