Napoli captain Marek Hamsik says they're hunting down second place.

The Partenopei's 3-0 victory away to Lazio on Sunday evening kept them within four points of second-placed Roma.

“We picked up three very important points against a direct rival in the fight for the Champions League," Hamsik told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Now we are third, four points off Roma. It'll be difficult, but we are counting on our chances of overtaking them.

“There are still seven rounds to go, we want to pick up as many points as possible."
