Serie A: Napoli Outclass AC Milan To Go Seven Points Clear

Napoli extended their Serie A lead to seven points with a commanding 2-0 victory over AC Milan at the San Siro.

Romelu Lukaku, returning to Milan as a former Inter striker, made his mark early, scoring just five minutes in.

Using his strength to outmuscle Strahinja Pavlovic in the box, Lukaku fired a low shot into the bottom corner to put Napoli ahead.

Despite Milan’s efforts to respond, testing Napoli’s keeper Alex Meret multiple times, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the lead just before halftime.

The Georgian winger embarked on a signature run down the left, weaving past defenders before curling a stunning shot past Mike Maignan.

Milan appeared to pull one back immediately after the break with an Alvaro Morata header, but it was disallowed for a narrow offside.

This win places Antonio Conte’s Napoli at 25 points, seven points clear of second-place Inter. Meanwhile, Milan’s third loss of the season drops them to eighth, now 11 points adrift.
