Cagliari vs Napoli: Match Summary
The 31-year-old Belgian international, who joined Napoli to replace club icon Victor Osimhen following a high-profile transfer saga, was the standout performer.
Lukaku contributed directly to three of Napoli's four goals, scoring once and providing two assists in a display that will surely delight the Napoli faithful.
Lukaku wasn't the only star of the show, as Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also shone brightly, registering a goal and an assist.
The partnership between Lukaku and Kvaratskhelia seems to be blossoming, providing Napoli with a potent attacking threat.
Captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo opened the scoring for Napoli, while defender Alessandro Buongiorno capped off the impressive performance with the fourth goal.
This comprehensive victory under new manager Antonio Conte's guidance suggests that Napoli has successfully navigated the transition following Osimhen's departure.
Conte's tactical acumen, combined with Lukaku's form and the team's overall performance, indicates that the Blues are well-positioned to compete at the highest level in Serie A this season.
As Napoli continues to impress, fans will be watching closely to see if they can maintain this form and challenge for honours domestically without their 25-year-old hero, Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray in a season-long loan move and has already settled down to life in Turkey.
