World Player of the Week: Ezequiel Lavezzi

Napoli haven not been at their scintillating best this season, but against Chelsea and Inter last week, they showed exactly why, when on form, they are one of the best teams in Europe to watch. The man that made them tick this past week was the diminutive Argentine Ezequiel Lavezzi. He scored his maiden Champions League goals in a 3-1 win over Chelsea, stroking a beautifully curled effort past Petr Cech in the first half, and then completing his double in the second period with a simple tap-in. He capped off a majestic week by netting the winner against Inter on Sunday in a hard-fought 1-0 victory. The 26-year-old was superb all evening, running Claudio Ranieri's side ragged at times, and linking up with his fellow attackers brilliantly all evening.
