Mike Maignan's goal line save in the 94th minute denied Napoli what would have been a sensational comeback. Instead Rudi Garcia’s side had to settle for a point in an entertaining 2-2 draw against Milan.
Olivier Giroud fired Milan ahead early on before doubling the visitors’ lead. Napoli headed back out for the second half with renewed intensions, making a triple substitution. Their approach paid dividends as Matteo Politano and Giacomo Raspadori’s goals saw the hosts level the scoreline.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia nearly won it at the death for Napoli but both sides go home with a point apiece.
