Napoli reclaimed top spot in Serie A after Jorginho's goal secured a 1-0 win over Udinese on Sunday.

Inter  had moved a point ahead after Saturday's 3-1 win over Cagliari but Maurizio Sarri's men responded in the required fashion.

The only goal came in the 33rd minute when a bewildered Gabrielle Angella brought down Christian Maggio in the box and though Jorginho's penalty was saved by Simone Scuffet, the midfielder tucked away the loose ball.

A penalty also cost fourth-placed Roma as they drew 1-1 at Genoa.

The Giallorossi led through Stephan El Shaarawy's goal but while defending a corner 10 minutes later, Daniele De Rossi was sent off for foolishly slapping Gianluca Lapadula, who scored the resulting spot-kick.

Milan were also held to a draw, 0-0 against Torino at San Siro.

Juventus bounced back to winning ways with a comfortable home victory while Napoli returned to the top of Serie A on Sunday.

In the late kick-off, second-half goals from Mario Mandzukic, Mattia De Sciglio and Medhi Benatia saw the reigning champions Juventus recover from their setback at Sampdoria last weekend with a 3-0 win over Crotone.

Juve could not find a way past the visitors' defence in the first half but Croatian forward Mandzukic finally broke the deadlock seven minutes after the break when he headed in Andrea Barzagli's cross.

De Sciglio made his mark two minutes after coming on, arrowing in his first Serie A goal from the edge of the area, before fellow sub Miralem Pjanic crossed for Benatia to tap in the third with 19 minutes left.

Victory leaves Massimiliano Allegri's men in third place, four points behind leaders Napoli, who they travel to on Friday.
