Match ends, Napoli 4, Frosinone 0.
Napoli prepared for their decisive Champions League game at Liverpool on Tuesday with an impressive home victory over struggling Frosinone in Serie A.
Piotr Zielinski's low drive fired Carlo Ancelotti's side ahead before Algeria midfielder Adam Ounas scored with a stunning long-range strike.
Poland striker Arkadiusz Milik headed in a third from a second-half corner and added his second from close range.
Napoli are eight points behind Juventus, who beat Inter Milan.
The Turin club, who have won the Italian title in each of the past seven seasons, defeated third-placed Inter 1-0 in the Derby d'Italia on Friday.
Frosinone, who were promoted from Serie B last season, have won only once in 15 matches this term and are second bottom of the table, five points from safety.

I expect the LOSING Champions League finalists to go through but would be hilarious if Napoli can dig out the result they need.
I think the battle for 5th is already lost mate - they're 8 points behind Arsenal as it is...
