Roma miss chance to move clear

[sake]

A review of the weekend's action so far in Italy's Serie A, as Napoli go third with victory over Roma.


Roma missed an opportunity to take overall control of the Serie A table as Napoli moved into third place by beating the capital

club 2-0 at the Stadio San Paolo.

Victory in Naples would have lifted the Giallorossi three points clear of title rivals Juventus, who face Empoli later on Saturday

evening, but after Gonzalo Higuain fired a stylish early opener Roma were largely second best.

Rudi Garcia's men did mount a rally after the break, yet their second defeat of the season was ultimately confirmed by a late

strike from the industrious Jose Callejon.
