Napoli pulled four points clear at the top of Serie A on Monday with a 5-0 hammering of Cagliari a day after champions Juventus' game in Turin was snowed off.

Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens gave Maurizio Sarri's side a comfortable two-goal lead at the break with a goal from captain Marek Hamsik, a Lorenzo Insigne penalty and Mario Rui's free-kick sealing a 10th straight league win.

Napoli are targeting a third Serie A title and first since 1990, with their sole focus now on the Scudetto after their Europa League and Italian Cup exits.

"It's an important result," said Napoli forward Insigne. "We are ahead but it depends on us, we must always win. Juve never give up, but we have shown we have great character and big heart.

"We're playing every game as if it were a final. We hope it will pay off in the end."

Napoli have 69 points from 26 matches, four points ahead of Juventus, who have a game in hand, with Lazio moving up to third after Sunday's 3-0 win over Sassuolo.

"I hope to get to 100 points," said Sarri. "But for us it would be unknown territory, we don't know if we can get there. © AFP
