Juventus, which defeated Milan 2-0 at home earlier in the season, is level with the champions on 34 points from 16 matches but with a worse goal difference. Udinese is third on 32 points. In the remaining round of matches postponed from the opening day of the season because of a players' strike, Lazio stayed fourth on 30 points but continued its poor home form with a goalless draw against mid-table Chievo Verona. Resurgent Inter Milan came back from a goal down at home to Lecce to claim a 4-1 victory, its fourth league win in a row, and move four points behind Lazio in fifth. Napoli reacted to Sunday's home defeat by Roma with a spectacular first half display to blow away Genoa and remain joint sixth on 24 points. AS Roma's good away form continued at Bologna as first half goals from Rodrigo Taddei and Pablo Osvaldo gave Luis Enrique's side an easy 2-0 win to keep pace with Napoli. A goal five minutes from time by Andrea Catellani earned Catania a 3-3 draw at Parma. Novara came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Palermo. Atalanta cheered up home fans with a convincing 4-1 win over lowly Cesena, climbing to 11th. Milan won 2-0 at Cagliari on Tuesday.
