Napoli ace Insigne on Fiorentina win: I want to repay Ancelotti

Lorenzo Insigne was delighted to prove Napoli's matchwinner for victory over Fiorentina.

Insigne grabbed the winning goal at the Stadio San Paolo with an assist from substitute Arkadiusz Milik.

He said, “You can have an off day and that happens, but we gave a strong response on the field today. We know the fans are behind us and we always try to repay them on the field with great performances."

Carlo Ancelotti kissed Insigne on the head as he went off, a gesture he has in the past done for the likes of Karim Benzema.

“I try to repay him for the faith he shows in me. He substituted me at half-time against Sampdoria, but today confirmed me in the starting XI and I am grateful."
