Napoli pulled five points clear of Inter at the top of Serie A by beating second-from-bottom Lecce on a Giovanni De Lorenzo goal ahead of Sunday’s early evening game between Inter Milan and Juventus at the San Siro.
The Italy defender struck in the 73rd minute to give the Azzurri the three points at the Maradona and take them up to 22 points from nine matches, five ahead of Inter who are on 17 from eight, and Juve who are on 16 from eight, the same total as Udinese who beat Cagliari 2-0 Friday night to rise to 16 from nine.
Inter take on Juve in the Derby of Italy at 18:00 in Milan Sunday night.
