Juventus' 29-game run unbeaten in Serie A was ended on Saturday after league leaders Napoli pulled off a statement 2-1 comeback win.

Scorers: Anguissa 57', Lukaku 60 (P)'; Kolo Muani 43'

Two heavyweights in Italy, this would always be a blockbuster showdown at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and the big names were pressured to deliver.

After the toying first half, a new Juventus name emerged under the lights. Former Paris Saint Germain star Randal Kolo Muani made his club debut and opened the scoring away from home against the league leaders.

The Frenchman found himself in the right place at the right time as the ball deflected toward him and turned and swivelled on the volley to find the bottom left corner.

Napoli, however, must have had an earful at half-time from their current boss and former Bianconeri manager, Antonio Conte. The hosts entered the second half with more grit and determination en route to turning things around.

André-Frank Zambo Anguissa stripped the visitors of the ball and drove Napoli forward before eventually finishing the move with a thumping header to equalise.

Then, minutes later, a mistake from Juventus awarded the hosts to grab the lead.

Romelu Lukaku attempted to feed the ball to Scott McTominay and the Scotland international was brought down in the box by Manuel Locatelli. Napoli earned a penalty, which Lukaku sent beyond goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.

This means that the Belgians scored 200 goals in Europe's top five leagues.

Juventus made late substitutions, hoping Dušan Vlahović and Francisco Conceição would add some firepower, but they couldn't muster up anything worthwhile. They, therefore, suffered their first Serie A loss since March 30, 2024.

Looking at the Serie A table, Napoli have a six point lead while Juventus are fifth some 16 points back.
