ROME, April 3 -- Edison Cavani scored a hat-trick as Napoli beat Lazio 4-3 at home to move to the second spot on the Serie A table on Sunday.

The entertaining encounter feted spectators with six goals in the last 35 minutes.

Lazio went ahead in the 29th minute through midfielder Stefano Mauri and Brazilian Andre Dias doubled their lead 12 minutes after half-time.

But five minutes after Dias' strike, scores were level.

Andrea Dossena scored on the hour mark before Cavani got the first of his treble two minutes later, but parity only lasted six minutes.

Napoli defender Salvatore Aronica turned the ball into his own net to give the visitors a 3-2 lead, but Cavani would prove to be the hero with two late goals, taking his tally for the season to 22.

First, he was fouled by Giuseppe Biava in the penalty area and after the defender was given his marching orders, Cavani stepped up to convert the spot-kick. The Uruguayan scored the winner two minutes from time to help Napoli to within three points of top side AC Milan, while Lazio sit in fifth.

Udinese suffered a shock 2-0 loss at struggling Lecce, missing a glorious chance to move closer to automatic European Champions League qualification.

A brace from Andrea Bertolacci ensured Udinese suffered their first league loss of 2011.

The 20-year-old midfielder was on the scoresheet in the 48th and 65th minutes to help Lecce into the safety zone.
