Early goals from Clarence Seedorf and Antonio Cassano, plus a Robinho brace sealed a 4-0 win for AC Milan over Parma Saturday and secured their solitary lead in the Italian Serie A.
Second-place Napoli play a classic southern-Italy derby at Roma later Saturday, when they can only hope to halve their current six-point gap.
The returning Dutchman Seedorf opened the game with a firm shot to force Antonio Mirante's diving save in the first minute and on eight leapt past the goalkeeper off a perfect assist by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Mirante stood no chance on 17 minutes as Cassano found the far angle after a pass-and-go with Gennaro Gattuso.
Cassano tried another central shot on the half hour off a feed from Ibra, who had a close-range effort saved.
The only telling efforts from Parma came after the break from shots by Blerim Dzemaili, both blocked by Christian Abbiati.
Brazilian Robinho came on for Seedorf on the hour and twice laid past Mirante off passes by the inspired Cassano.
With Milan leading on 52 points from 25 games, champions Inter Milan play a top-billing game late Sunday away to Juventus, who lie 14 points from the top.
