Napoli too good for 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.
