Napoli extended their lead at the top of Serie A to seven points with a 2-0 win over AC Milan.
Romelu Lukaku and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia were on target as Antonio Conte’s men came away with an impressive victory from the San Siro, extending their lead ahead of Inter Milan at the summit.
Former Chelsea striker Lukaku made the breakthrough after just five minutes when Strahinja Pavlovic played his opponent onside before the Belgian brushed him off to fire home.
Despite that early set-back, Milan enjoyed more of the ball throughout the encounter but struggled to find a away through Conte’s stubborn set-up.
Kvaratskhelia doubled the visitors’ lead just before the first half concluded, cutting inside and finding the net with a trademark goal.
Alvaro Morata was fortunate not to halve the deficit after nearly heading in Samuel Chukwueze’s cross but after that moment on the hour mark, Milan looked unlikely to force their way back into the game.
The result sees Napoli continue their impressive start to the season, with the pressure rising on Milan boss Paulo Fonseca after the defeat leaves them eighth.
