MILAN— Napoli took a share of the Serie A lead with Fiorentina ahead of Inter Milan's home match against Frosinone later Sunday.
Nikola Kalinic scored twice in five minutes to help Fiorentina come back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Empoli in a Tuscan derby.
Earlier, Gonzalo Higuain was on target again as Napoli won 2-0 at Hellas Verona.
Napoli and Fiorentina have 28 points, one more than Inter and Roma, which was held to a 2-2 draw at Bologna Saturday.
Sassuolo remained fifth, despite losing 2-1 at Genoa in a match that saw both sides reduced to 10 men at the end of the first half.
Elsewhere, Vincenzo Montella's first match as Sampdoria coach ended in defeat as his new team lost 1-0 at Udinese, while Lazio ended a run of three successive defeats by coming from behind to draw 1-1 against Palermo.
Carpi remained level with bottom club Verona after losing 2-1 at home to Chievo Verona. The two teams are seven points from safety.
Torino won 1-0 at Atalanta.
The French national anthem was played before each Serie A match and supporters displayed several banners in support of their neighbors little over a week after the deadly attacks in Paris that claimed 130 lives and left hundreds more injured.
There were also thousands of French flags waved by the fans in Udine. In Florence a huge banner of support was unfurled with the words "close to the French people."
Kane brace sets Spurs
on Arsenal's tail
Harry Kane scored his seventh and eighth goals in five matches as Tottenham Hotspur dispatched West Ham United 4-1 Sunday to close on the Premier League's top four.
Defenders Toby Alderweireld and Kyle Walker also found the net at a chilly White Hart Lane as Mauricio Pochettino's side equaled the club record of 12 successive Premier League games without defeat.
Spurs now trail third-place Manchester City and fourth-place Arsenal by just two points and look ideally placed for an assault on the Champions League berths ahead of next weekend's home game with spluttering champions Chelsea, who will not relish the trip to north London.
The only disappointment for Pochettino was the booking collected by rising star Dele Alli following a shoving match with Mark Noble, which rules the England newcomer out of the Chelsea game.
It was only a second defeat in 10 league games for Slaven Bilic's West Ham, who replied late on through Manuel Lanzini, and left them three points adrift of Spurs in sixth place.
The visitors badly missed injured playmaker Dimitri Payet, whose place was taken by Diafra Sakho in West Ham's only change.
Bilic strung his midfielders across the pitch in a 4-1-4-1 system, with Sakho wide on the right, in an attempt to stop Spurs' center-backs sliding passes into the feet of Alli, Christian Eriksen and the fit-again Son Heung-Min, who replaced the suspended Erik Lamela.
Victor Moses gave Spurs early concern by skipping past Mousa Dembele and crossing from the left, but Spurs looked in control and after Eriksen had warmed Adrian's palms from range, they took a 23rd-minute lead.
Alli's shot from the edge of the box was partially blocked and fell to Kane, who easily rolled Carl Jenkinson before rifling a left-foot shot into the roof of the net for his seventh goal of the league campaign.
