Napoli get Serie A title charge back on track with victory at Lecce

Napoli extended their lead at the top of Serie A to 19 points with a 2-1 win at luckless Lecce.

A bizarre 64th-minute own goal from Lecce defender Antonino Gallo, who chested the ball back through the gloves of goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone, gifted Napoli victory and got their shock 4-0 defeat to AC Milan last Sunday out of their system.

Napoli, who have not won the Serie A title since 1990, led after 18 minutes when Giovanni Di Lorenzo headed home Kim Min-jae’s cross.
