LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Sporting Lisbon fought back to beat fellow title hopeful FC Porto 2-1 on Sunday and go top of the Portuguese league.

Felipe put Porto ahead in the eighth minute. But Islam Slimani leveled in the 14th before Gelson Martins scored the winner in the 26th.
Elsewhere, Chaves drew 2-2 at Boavista, Maritimo won 1-0 at Moreirense, Rio Ave beat Feirense 1-0, and Setubal defeated Arouca 2-0.
On Saturday, Benfica won 3-1 at Nacional.
