Inter Milan lose unbeaten record

Marcelo Zalayeta capitalised on an early blunder by Inter Milan keeper Julio César as Napoli ended the leaders' unbeaten record in Serie A with a 1-0 home win.

Zalayeta chipped into an empty net in the third minute after Cesar, who saved a penalty from the Uruguayan striker in the second half, tapped an intercepted long pass to him instead of hoofing away.

The champions looked sterile in attack and deservedly fell to their first league defeat of the season.

Inter still have a six-point lead over AS Roma, who are on 55 points from 26 games after thrashing Parma 4-0 on Saturday.

Earlier, Fiorentina beat third-placed Juventus 3-2 to move within a point of the Turin side in the standings.

Fifth-placed AC Milan are four points adrift of the Florence club and the Champions League qualification zone after being held 1-1 by Lazio at the San Siro on Saturday.
