Napoli reclaimed top spot in Serie A on Sunday maintaining its unbeaten record with a 3-1 win at Sassuolo to retain its three-point cushion on Juventus and Lazio.

Maurizio Sarri’s side has 31 points from 11 games.

But the Napoli coach was far from happy with his side for allowing Diego Falcinelli to equalise for Sassuolo on 41 minutes after Brazilian Allan had opened the scoring on 22 minutes.

Jose Callejon restored Napoli’s advantage before in-form Dries Mertens completed the scoring.

The results: Serie A: Napoli 3 (Allan 22, Callejon 44, Mertens 54) bt Sassuolo 1 (Falcinelli 41); Udinese 2 (De Paul 45+1-pen, Barŕk 68) bt Atalanta 1 (Kurtic 29); Sampdoria 4 (Linetty 20, Torreira 26, 85, Zapata 44) bt Chievo 1 (Cacciatore 24); SPAL 1 (Antenucci 56) bt Genoa 0; Crotone 2 (Budimir 17, Trotta 18) bt Fiorentina 1 (Benassi 44); Torino 2 (Iago Falqus 39, Obi 66) bt Cagliari 1 (Barella 30).

La Liga: Eibar 2 (Arbilla 51, Charles 74) drew with Levante 2 (Morales 35, Bardhi 37); Malaga 2 (Adrian 45+1, Recio 83-pen) bt Celta Vigo 1 (Aspas 76); Girona 2 (Stuani 54, Portu 58) bt Real Madrid 1 (Isco 12).
