McTominay opened the scoring and added a late second, but defensive collapses turned the night into a thrashing, compounding post-Torino concerns and exposing transition frailties that left Conte furious on the touchline. PSV punished Napoli’s high fullbacks with direct runs and third-man combinations, repeatedly isolating centre-backs in space. Napoli’s rest defence failed on clearances and second balls, while late chasing further widened gaps that PSV exploited for two stoppage-time daggers.
