Napoli manager Antonio Conte stressed the importance of focusing on the team's improvement rather than on their position in the Serie A standings after his side climbed back to the top with a narrow win over AS Roma on Sunday.

Napoli should pay little attention to their place at the top of Serie A, so says Antonio Conte, who has demanded improvement from his team.

Napoli edged out AS Roma 1-0 at home on Sunday, with Romelu Lukaku's second-half goal securing all three points and top spot in Serie A. It took 54 minutes for Napoli to break the deadlock, with Lukaku sliding in to meet Giovanni Di Lorenzo's low cross from close range and score against the team he played for last season.

Romelu Lukaku ensured Napoli maintained their one-point lead at the top of Serie A with the only goal in Sunday's 1-0 win over his old club Roma.
