Napoli blow chance to go second, Roma win

Napoli blew the chance to join AC Milan in second place in Serie A on Sunday when they were held 2-2 at home by Cagliari, while AS Roma continued their return to form with a 3-0 win at Lecce.

Daniele Conti scored a stoppage-time equaliser for the Sardinians after Napoli's Ezequiel Lavezzi thought he had won it with a superb late free kick, leaving the hosts level with Juventus in third place with 24 points from 13 games.

Cagliari's Diego Lopez had pounced in the 66th minute to cancel out Slovak midfielder Marek Hamsik's early opener.

Goals by Mirko Vucinic, Juan and Francesco Totti lifted Roma towards the middle of table as they made up ground on the back of last week's derby win over Lazio after a miserable start.

Milan have 26 points and, with a win at Torino in Sunday's late game could pull back within one point of Inter, 1-0 victors over Juventus 1-0 on Saturday.
