Napoli manager Rafael Benitez says it was reassuring for him to see the attacking football that his team played during their 2-0 win over Sampdoria.

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez has said that he would like his team to finish games off sooner, after their 2-0 win over Sampdoria.

Dries Mertens scored twice in the second half to stretch the club's unbeaten run to five league games, and Benitez was pleased at the attacking football his team displayed.

"The team had many scoring opportunities and could've made the difference in the first half. The game was more open in the second and they caused us problems, but we got the goals," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"I would like to see us stronger in defence and quicker at finishing games off, but it's reassuring to see such attacking football.

"This is an attack-minded team and it's something we have to take into account when looking at how we defend."

Napoli are currently third in the Serie A table.
