Milan - Napoli picked up a vital three points away at Milan in what could prove to be a decisive fixture in the Serie A title race.
After an exciting but goalless first half it was the visitors who opened the scoring through Matteo Politano's penalty, awarded after a decision by VAR. However Napoli's lead only lasted 14 minutes, Olivier Giroud tucking home after good work by Theo Hernandez on the left flank. Milan looked like they had the upper hand but 12 minutes from time Mario Rui played in a lovely ball which was met by Giovanni Simeone to make it 2-1. Napoli held on to claim a wonderful and priceless victory at San Siro.
