MILAN (Reuters) - Napoli saw off a brave challenge from promoted SPAL when a late Faouzi Ghoulam goal gave them a 3-2 win on Saturday, leaving them with maximum points from six games. It was also a club-record eleventh consecutive Serie A win for Napoli who, for the second time in four games, recovered from going a goal behind away from home. Pasquale Schiattarella gave SPAL a shock lead in the 13th minute but they were in front for only a minute before Lorenzo Insigne equalised. Jose Callejon headed Napoli ahead in the 71st minute only for SPAL to hit back seven minutes later when Federico Viviani curled in a free kick. Juventus, who have won their first five games, were hosting neighbours Torino in the late game.
