Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia took just three minutes to make an impact in his first appearance of the season for the champions.
On as a 61-minute substitute, the man nicknamed ‘Kvaradona’ slipped through a delightful pass to put Giovanni Di Lorenzo through for a simple finish and Napoli’s second goal.
Napoli had taken the lead in the 16th minute when Victor Osimhen converted a penalty.
Sassuolo’s chances of getting something from the match diminished six minutes into the second half when midfielder Maxime Lopez was shown a red card for repeated dissent.
