Napoli Soar, Inter Stumble in Serie A

Napoli extended their lead atop Serie A with a dominant 4-0 victory over Cagliari, while Inter Milan stumbled to a 1-1 draw at Monza.

Napoli's triumph was marred by fan disorder, with a banner mocking Cagliari fans as "sheep" sparking a barrage of objects between supporters. The match was halted for seven minutes as projectiles and flares flew.

Despite the disruption, Napoli remained unfazed. Giovanni Di Lorenzo's deflected opener gave them an early lead, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Romelu Lukaku combined for two more goals before the hour mark. Alessandro Buongiorno sealed the win with a stoppage-time header.

Inter's title hopes took a blow as they dropped points at Monza. Denzel Dumfries rescued a point with a late equalizer after Dany Mota's header had given the hosts the lead. Simone Inzaghi's side looked sluggish and will need to improve ahead of their Champions League opener at Manchester City.

Elsewhere, Ademola Lookman marked his return to Atalanta with a decisive goal in their 3-2 victory over Fiorentina. The Nigerian forward, who had been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, netted the winner in stoppage time to secure three points for the Champions League-bound side.

Genoa snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw with Roma in the final seconds, continuing their impressive start to the season.
