Lorenzo Insigne ended his scoring drought in style, getting both goals and also hitting the crossbar in the space of 10 minutes in Napoli's 2-1 win at Udinese on Saturday. With only its third win in seven away matches, last season's Serie A runner-up Napoli moved up to fourth place, six points behind leader Juventus, which was facing Pescara late. Insigne hadn't scored since April, a run of 1,136 minutes, after finishing with a career-best 12 goals last season.
