Football: Juve maintain unbeaten start

ROME: Leaders Juventus twice fought back from two goals down to earn a 3-3 draw at Napoli and stretch their unbeaten start in Serie A to 12 games. Goals from Marek Hamsik and a Goran Pandev brace looked to have given Napoli victory but the visitors hit back through Alessandro Matri, Marcelo Estigarribia and Simone Pepe. “That was an important response,” said Juve coach Antonio Conte. “We had the legs, the tactics and the technique. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t have been able to recover.”
