Mertens Keeps Napoli Top, Milan Stalls Lazio

Dries Mertens scored a double as Napoli reclaimed top spot in Serie A ahead of Juventus with a 3-1 win over Bologna on Sunday as AC Milan rekindled its push for Europe with a 2-1 win over Lazio.
Napoli restored its one-point advantage over champion Juventus that had moved top after Sami Khedira and Gonzalo Higuain scrored in a 2-0 win at nine-man Chievo on Saturday.
The championship battle looks increasingly like a two-horse race as behind the leader Lazio - ten points off Juventus in third - Inter Milan and Roma all failed to win.
I think this battle with Napoli will last for the whole season," said Germany internatioal Kehira.
"We worked hard during the break, the season is long and we're still in the running in all competitions - we want to be there until the end in every one."
In Naples, it proved to be a battle with Rodrigo Palacio nodding Bologna ahead after 25 seconds before an Ibrahima Mbaye own goal four minutes later pulled the host back.
