Leaders Napoli have inflicted Juventus Turin's first defeat of the Italian Serie A season. The southern Italians celebrated a 2:1 home win on Saturday to move six points clear of first-placed Inter, who have two games in hand.

Atalanta Bergamo are a further point behind them in third place after a 2-1 win in Como (Matthias Braunöder substitute).

Kolo Muani goal not enough
The visitors took the lead in Naples through new signing Randal Kolo Muani (43'). After the break, however, the home side managed to turn things around thanks to Frank Anguissa (57) and Romelu Lukaku (69/penalty). Juventus are fifth, 16 points behind Napoli.
