Napoli have returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Siena away from home in Serie A.

Walter Mazzarri's side had the better chances in the first half, with Lorenzo Insigne cutting in to shoot just wide of the post early on.

Insigne then almost found Edinson Cavani with a free kick in a good position, before Alessandro Gamberini forced Siena goalkeeper Gianluca Pegolo into making a good save.

Napoli continued to dominate proceedings as the match progressed, as both Marek Hamsik and Cavani saw efforts turned away by Pegolo in the early minutes of the second half.

The Azzurri pressed on for the winner but failed to break down a resolute Siena defence until the 86th minute when Christian Maggio found the target with a right-footed shot from close range.

Three minutes later Felipe brought down Goran Pandev inside the penalty area and Cavani dispatched the penalty with ease to make it 2-0.

Siena ended the match with 10 men after Emanuele Calaio was sent off for a second bookable offence in injury time.
