Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Rome, February 15 - Champions Juventus beat Napoli 1-0 in Turin on Saturday to leapfrog their scudetto rivals and go top of the table with their 15th consecutive league win.
    A late strike by substitute Simone Zaza put Juve, who had to haul themselves back into the title race after a poor start, on 57 points from 25 games.
    The Turin giants, who are bidding for a fifth consecutive Serie A title, are now just two games from the all-time record of 17 straight wins set by Inter Milan in the 2006-07.
    Napoli are one point behind Juve in second place.
    Fiorentina are third with 49 points after coming from behind to win 2-1 at home against Inter, who slipped to fifth.
    AS Roma are fourth with 47 points after continuing their good form with a 3-1 win at second-bottom Carpi on Friday.
