- Napoli moved in three points of the Serie A-Leaders Inter after Sunday past AC Milan 2-1 in a fascinating collision in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
-
The side of Antonio Conte came to fly out of the blocks and their fast start was rewarded with a breakthrough within 65 seconds when the long ball of Giovanni di Lorenzo was professionally controlled by Politano, who clinically hit Mike Maignan in the bottom corner.
Armed with Het Momentum, Napoli looked to push their advantage home, and after Frank Anguisa directed a daring Flick Eng, they doubled their lead in the 19th minute.
Billy Gilmour's well -timed pass found Lukaku free in the box, and the Belgian Talisman took one touch to compose himself before he finished cool in the far corner.
Surprised by the dominant start of GLI Azzurri, Milan tried to get a foothold in the game as the first half progressed.
Although they have seen a lot of the ball in the last third part, clear openings came to a premium, because Napoli maintained their benefits of two goals during the break.
The hosts continued to keep the men of Sergio Conukicao at a distance in the early stages of the second period, with Santiago Gimenez curling over the edge of the box.
When the time tapped in the last 25 minutes, the Rossoneri rejects a glorious opportunity to halve the shortage when Gimenez saw a tame penalty saved by Alex Meret after Philip Billing was bundled in the back of Theo Hernandez in the area.
That Miss seemed to have cost Milan, but the visitors rightly withdrew a back with six minutes, because the low delivery of Hernandez was tapped home by replacement Luka Jovic.
After finding the net in the last 20 minutes for the seventh time in their last eight league trips, Conukicao went looking for a dramatic level, but it turned out to be a step too far, because Napoli held firmly under pressure to protect their first from head-to-head home victory in seven meetings.
