NAPLES, Italy :Napoli were made to work hard but they maintained their perfect start to the Serie A season with a 3-2 home win over Pisa on Monday, which took the holders clear atop the standings.

Billy Gilmour netted his first goal at senior club level to give Napoli a first-half lead but M'Bala Nzola's penalty on the hour drew Pisa level.

Leonardo Spinazzola and Lorenzo Lucca's goals looked to have wrapped up the win before Lorran's late goal for the visitors made for a nervy ending.

"It was over at 3-1, Pisa weren't even pressing us anymore," Spinazzola told Sky Sports. "But all you need is that little moment of superficiality and it all changes."
