Martin Caceres scores the winner as Juventus beat Napoli 2-1 to move three points clear at the top of Serie A.

Juventus have moved three points clear in Serie A thanks to a 3-1 victory over Napoli.

Despite being forced onto the back foot for much of the first half, the pattern of the game could have been very different had Jonathan de Guzman not fired over after latching on to a deflected pass from Marek Hamsik in the box.

Napoli survived a couple of extended spells of pressure from the visitors, but Juventus were ahead in the 29th minute when Paul Pogba found the space to volley home from 18 yards.

Rafael Cabral avoided being beaten for the second time before the break by making a smart save to keep out Martin Caceres.

Juventus continued to dominate possession in the early stages of the second half, but chances were difficult to come by as Napoli's stubborn defence kept them in the game.

Rafael Benitez's side equalised through Miguel Britos, who found the space inside the box to convert an inviting cross from Dries Mertens.

However, the hosts would be on level terms for just five minutes as Caceres restored his side's advantage by steering home from Andrea Pirlo's free kick.

It was a comfortable finish to the game for Juventus as Napoli struggled to create the opportunities required to set up a dramatic climax.

Juventus wrapped up the win in stoppage time when Arturo Vidal took full advantage of space on the edge of the box to fire past a helpless Cabral.
