Napoli took full advantage of Inter Milan's first defeat of the Serie A season to take over at the top.
Udinese called time on Inter's 16-match unbeaten run with Kevin Lasagna, Rodrigo De Paul and Antonin Barak scoring the goals in a 3-1 victory at San Siro.
Later, sitting a point behind Inter before they tackled Torino, Maurizio Sarri's Napoli scented blood and Kalidou Koulibaly, Piotr Zielinski and Marek Hamsik made it 3-0 before half-time.
It was a 115th goal for Slovakian midfielder Hamsik, who thus matched Diego Maradona's long-standing record scoring haul for the Naples club.
In addition to re-establishing Napoli as title challengers to be feared, the 3-1 triumph in Turin ended a worrying sequence of toothless performances.
Saturday's late match saw Roma snatch a dramatic 1-0 stoppage-time victory at the Stadio Olimpico against Cagliari with a scrappy goal from defender Federico Fazio.
