LEADER Juventus fought back from two goals down to draw 3-3 away to Napoli in a thrilling game at the San Paolo stadium on Tuesday with Pepe grabbing a late equalizer as it extended its unbeaten start to the Serie A campaign.
Goran Pandev struck twice for the hosts but Pepe popped up with the goal that salvaged a point after a barnstorming run as Juventus piled on the pressure to stretch its lead over AC Milan to two points after 12 games with Napoli up to sixth on 17.
Marek Hamsik, having missed an early penalty, headed the home side in front midway through the first half before Pandev doubled its lead just before the break.
Alessandro Matri pulled a goal back for Juventus just after the interval but Pandev struck again to put Napoli 3-1 ahead. The visitors then staged a fightback with Marcelo Estigarribia poking the ball home after 73 minutes before Simone Pepe completed the comeback 11 minutes from time.
Bianconeri boss Antonio Conte praised his side's "inner strength" when they were behind.
"Without heart, you don't come back in games like these," he said.
"We were a bit soft in the first half but the boys showed they wanted it tonight."
