Marek Hamsik broke Diego Maradona’s all-time scoring record for Napoli as they beat Sampdoria to remain top of Serie A.Napoli’s captain scored his 116th goal for the club, on his 465th appearance, to put them 3-2 ahead from close range towards the end of the first half. He equalled Maradona’s record last weekend in a 3-1 win over Torino, having failed to score in 13 games. Napoli are four points above champions Juventus, who host Roma at 19:45 GMT. Fifth-placed Napoli beat Crotone 4-0, with all the goals coming after the 56th minute. Benevento remain bottom, on one point, after a 1-0 defeat by Genoa – the fourth game they have lost this season to a goal in the 90th minute or later.
