Juventus and AC Milan claim wins, Napoli lets slip a lead in Florence
In Serie A's fifth round, Turin's Juventus and AC Milan secured comfortable home victories, while champions Napoli failed to hold a lead away to Fiorentina and settled for a draw.
Italy's Serie A has completed its fifth round of matches, with both Milan clubs and Juventus celebrating wins, while champions Napoli missed a chance to move up the table.
Juventus beat their December opponent
Turin's Juventus defeated Bergamo's Atalanta 2:0 at home. Atalanta will travel to Riga on December 12 to face Latvia's reigning champions in a UEFA Conference League match. Juventus opened the scoring in the first half through Francisco Conceição, before Bremer doubled the lead in the second half following a corner kick.
AC Milan confirm strong form
AC Milan cruised to a 3:0 home win over Lecce, with Diego Moreira continuing his scoring streak — he has now netted three goals in his last two Serie A appearances.
Napoli concede a late equalizer
Away to Fiorentina, defending champions Napoli took the lead in the 23rd minute through Scotland's Billy Gilmour, but the hosts equalized after Alejandro Jiménez's shot deflected off a Napoli defender and into the net. The match finished 1:1.
After round five, three clubs share the top of the table with 13 points each: Inter Milan and both Roman sides, Lazio and AS Roma. Juventus and AC Milan have closed the gap on the leaders with their wins, while Napoli currently sit mid-table.
