Napoli top Serie A after Gonzalo Higuain,Jose Callejon strikes

Napoli maintained their 100 percent record to move to nine points,while Inter and Juve are two points behind and Milan are in sixth place with four. Argentine Higuains second goal of the season came in the 71st minute of Napolis tense match with Atalanta,in which Rafael Benitezs side struggled to break down the away side and had a flying Pepe Reina save to thank for not going behind to German Denis long-range effort two minutes after the break.

The hosts laboured and it took until the introduction of Jose Callejon and Marek Hamsik midway through the second half for Napoli to take charge. Hamsiks aggressive pressing led to the opening goal,with the ball falling to former Real Madrid striker Higuain who rolled home a calm finish. It was Callejon who sealed the three points with his third goal in as many games,another composed strike following neat play from Insigne and Blerim Dzemaili,who back-heeled a delightful assist to the Spaniard.

Milan looked down and out 71 minutes into their clash with Torino,after two superb goals from Danilo DAmbrosio and Alessio Cerci.

KAKA DISAPPOINTS

Kaka disappointed on his return to the Milan midfield after his move from Real Madrid,barely making a dent in the Torino defence before being substituted a minute before Cerci struck,and will have to up their game with for the Champions League visit of Celtic on Wednesday.

It was a bizarre Sulley Muntari goal eight minutes from time,in which the midfielder scuffed a shot past out-of-position Torino keeper Daniele Padelli,which brought Milan back into the match.

Balotelli atoned for missing an easy chance in the 74th minute when he stepped up to slot home the equalising spot kick deep in stoppage time and snatch an unlikely and undeserved point.
