Napoli-Milan 0-4

Sensational epilogue in the Sunday postponement of the 28th day of Serie A. At the Maradona in fact, Milan overwhelmed Napoli with a clear 4-0: by Leao and Brahim Diaz the goals in the first half, by the same Leao and Saelemaekers the goals in the second half.

Milan got off to a strong start right away and found the lead in the 17th minute with Leao beating Meret with a soft touch underneath after a great play by Brahim Diaz, who got rid of a couple of opponents and sent the Portuguese into the goal with a perfect verticalization. The same former Real Madrid trequartista doubles in the 25th minute: stop in the box, dribble over Mario Rui and deflect a left-footed shot past Meret. A terrible one-two by the Rossoneri that stuns the Azzurri.

In the second half, the hosts tried to fight back but in the 60th minute Leao closed the score: lethal restart by the Rossoneri outside forward who ‘drunkenly’ feints Rrahmani and crosses to the second post with a terrifying left. A few minutes later there was room for poker as well: Saelemaekers ventured on a personal foray, dribbled past a couple of opponents and slotted in Meret.

Milan overtakes Inter Milan and moves into solo third place at 51. The partenopei remain +16 ahead of Lazio, second in the standings at 55.
