Inter moved to the top of the Serie A table with a 2-0 victory over Lazio, with Napoli beaten by Bologna.
Lautaro Martinez and Ange-Yoan Bonny were on course for last year’s beaten Champions League finalists.
The victory took Inter to 24 points after 11 matches – level with Roma but with a superior goal difference.
Napoli are two points behind – with AC Milan also on 22 points – after Bologna won 2-0.
Thijs Dallinga and Jhon Lucumi scored to leave Antonio Conte’s side without a win in their last three matches in all competitions.
In Germany, Wolfsburg fired coach Paul Simonis following the team’s 2-1 defeat to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Friday.
Simonis, nicknamed “Gouda Guardiola” due to his slight resemblance to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, took charge in June at Wolfsburg after leading Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles to their first ever Dutch KNVB Cup victory in April.
“The 40-year-old man was released on Sunday evening,” Wolfsburg said in a statement. Under-19 coach Daniel Bauer will replace him until further notice, the club said.
