Napoli sit seventh on 10 points after Frosinone win
The 3-0 win over Frosinone gives Napoli three results without defeat in a row in Serie A, with Inter six points clear at the top from the same number of games played.
The 3-0 win over Frosinone closes matchday six with Napoli seventh in Serie A: 10 points from three wins, one draw and two defeats, with 10 goals scored and 6 conceded. It is the best position of the season so far, and the moment to look at the whole table, not just Saturday 10 October's result.
Inter are alone at the top with 16 points from six games, the same number Napoli have played. That is a six-point gap at an equal number of matches, a clear but not dramatic distance this early in the season. Behind Inter, a group of chasers: Roma and Lazio on 13 points from five games each, Cagliari on 12 from five, Milan on 11 from five.

Napoli share their 10 points with Juventus, Como and Frosinone, with one difference worth noting: Juventus and Como got there in five matches, Napoli and Frosinone needed six. It is a detail, not a verdict — six games into the season, the table shows only where everyone stands now, not where they will finish.
What changes after Frosinone is the run: three results without defeat in the league, following the stoppage in the Champions League against Arsenal and the defeat to Inter. The goal difference is in credit, 10 scored and 6 conceded in six games, and the team head into Tuesday 13 October with something to defend — away to Villarreal, in the Champions League, a different competition with a different table.
