NAPOLI boss Luciano Spalletti had to awkwardly chase Massimiliano Allegri for a handshake after thrashing his Juventus side last night.
Victor Osimhen grabbed a brace as Napoli thumped their title rivals 5-1 to open up a ten-point lead at the top of Serie A.
It was a night of hilarious antics all-around in Naples which included Manchester United transfer target Osimhen UPPERCUTTING a Juve star to the floor before the Turin side’s physio was knocked down in a wild passage of play.
And the fun did not stop after the final whistle when it came time for the customary handshake between the two managers.
Fuming over the result, Allegri marched straight back back towards the steps leading to the dressing-room.

Spalletti initially stood there with his arm outstretched, but he hilariously raced after his fellow Italian and almost forced him into a shake.
One fan dubbed him “a class act” while another commented on Twitter: “When I see him he does these things I love him.”
While another tweeted: “Spaletti emphasised the handshake to embarrass him and it is deserved. He is arrogant and he is living in the past.”
The tension seemed to stem from Allegri’s pre-match attempts to pile the pressure on Napoli by claiming they had “more to lose” than Juventus, which was met with a passionate outburst from Spalletti.
He said: “Allegri fits the Juve motto that ‘winning is all that matters'. Here in Naples we’re all about heart and soul.

“We can’t play our football without a nod to that aesthetic legacy.”
Osimhen broke the deadlock on 14 minutes before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the advantage.
Angel Di Maria gave Juventus hope of a comeback before the break but it was one-way traffic after the restart.

Amir Rrahmani made it three before Osimhen got his second to make it four.
And Elif Elmas capped off a dominant display by making it five to leave Juventus licking their wounds.
