Napoli came from behind to claim a 3-1 victory over Chievo and move to the top of Serie A at the Stadio San Paolo.
Chievo got off to a flying start when Nicola Rigoni put them in front inside two minutes but Gonzalo Higuain equalised four minutes later.
Vlad Chiriches then gave Partenopei a half-time lead and Jose Callejon put the game out of reach in the 70th minute to move Maurizio Sarri's side level on points with Juventus.
In the midst of their Europa League exit, the home side had failed to register a Serie A win in their last three games and were behind in the second minute after former Tottenham defender Chiriches, who replaced the suspended Raul Albiol in the starting line-up, gave the ball away cheaply to leave Rigoni clean through on goal to slot past Pepe Reina.
Napoli would respond immediately, however, as Higuain tapped in Faouzi Ghoulam's cross from the left wing to take his Serie A tally to 26 goals for the season.
Chiriches would redeem himself in the 38th minute when he produced a powerful header from Jorginho's cross, leaving Albano Bizzarri stranded in the Chievo goal.
The hosts pushed forward and got their third with 20 minutes to go. Allan was found with acres of space on the right wing before his firm first-time pass met the surging run of Callejon.
The win keeps Napoli's chances of winning their first Scudetto since 1990 alive, while Chievo are 10th.
