ROME (AP) — Serie A leader Napoli needed a late score from captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo to secure a 1-0 victory over struggling Lecce at home on Saturday.
Di Lorenzo, who had an earlier goal waved off by the VAR, bundled in from close range following a rebound of a header by Scott McTominay.
Antonio Conte’s Napoli moved five points ahead of defending champion Inter Milan, which hosts rival Juventus on Sunday.
Lecce remained one point above last-placed Venezia.
Di Lorenzo’s goal came a minute after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia came on.
It was Napoli’s fourth straight win. The 2023 champion hasn’t lost since dropping its season opener in August at Hellas Verona.
Napoli is not playing in Europe after finishing 10th in Serie A last season. Up next, Napoli visits AC Milan on Tuesday.
Milan’s match at Bologna scheduled for Saturday was postponed due to heavy flooding in Bologna.
Atalanta routs Verona as Retegui gets to 10 goals
Atalanta moved up to fourth by scoring five goals in the first half of a 6-1 win over visiting Hellas Verona.
Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman scored twice and Atalanta captain Marten de Roon and Charles De Ketelaere also were on target.
Retegui boosted his league-leading tally to 10 goals in nine matches.
Amin Sarr pulled one back for Verona before the break.
