LONDON (Reuters) - League-leaders Napoli continued their 100 percent start to the Serie A season with a 3-0 win over Cagliari at Stadio San Paolo on Sunday. Marek Hamsik handed the hosts an early lead by scoring his first goal of the campaign with a low, angled shot in the fourth minute. Top-scorer Dries Mertens then netted his ninth goal in all competitions this season by slotting home from the penalty spot five minutes before the interval. Kalidou Koulibaly rounded off the win by finishing from close range two minutes into the second period. Defending champions Juventus have the opportunity to jump back ahead of Inter and draw level with Napoli when they travel to Atalanta later on Sunday.
