NAPLES:

Napoli maintained their lead at the top of Serie A with Monday's 3-2 win over promoted Pisa which continued the champions' perfect start to their domestic campaign.

Lorenzo Lucca's first goal for his new club, thumped home in the 82nd minute, ended up being the winning goal in a narrow win for Napoli who have 12 points from four league matches.

That put Napoli two points ahead of second-placed Juventus following their great rivals' draw at Verona on Saturday, and three ahead of Roma and AC Milan who complete the top four in Italy.

head to the San Siro next weekend to take on Milan who have an Italian Cup fixture against Lecce on Tuesday night.

It was an underwhelming performance from Napoli in the wake of Thursday night's 2-0 defeat at Manchester City in the Champions League.
