Juventus moved to the top of the table after securing an exciting 1-0 success against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.
Simone Pepe was the hero for
Juventus as his goal after 34 minutes was enough to secure all three points.
Lazio were caught cold after a fantastic counter-attacking move which the tricky winger finished off by beating goalkeeper Federico Marchetti.
The win means Juve overtook Udinese at the summit and still have a game in hand.
Meanwhile, Maxi Moralez's goal was not enough to give
Atalanta victory at home to
Napoli as the impressive Edinson Cavani continued his excellent goalscoring form by snatching a 1-1 draw in added time.
Novara caused an upset as they came from behind to win their second league match of the season by defeating
Parma 2-1.
Matteo Centurioni gifted Parma the lead with an own goal in the 29th minute but two late headers in eight minutes from Raffaele Rubino and Marco Rigoni turned the game around and lifted the Piedmontese side out of the bottom three.
Finally,
Catania stole the points at
Lecce with Pablo Barrientos scoring in stoppage-time to snatch a dramatic win at the Stadio Angelo Massimino.
The substitute fired home the winner in the dying seconds after being set up by a cross from Maxi Lopez.
