AC Milan secured a vital 2-1 win over Napoli at San Siro last night, moving to the top of the Serie A table on goal difference. The victory was inspired by Christian Pulisic, who provided the assist for Alexis Saelemaekers’ opener before doubling the lead himself just before halftime.
The game turned tense when Milan were reduced to ten men after Pervis Estupiñán conceded a penalty and was shown a red card. Kevin De Bruyne converted from the spot to give Napoli hope, setting up a nervy second half for the hosts.
Despite Napoli’s pressure, Milan held their ground. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan produced key saves, including one in stoppage time, while another Napoli effort clipped the post. The Rossoneri showed resilience and determination to protect their lead until the final whistle.
The result extended Milan’s winning streak to four matches in the league. With no European football this season, Massimiliano Allegri’s men are fully focused on domestic competition. After the match, Allegri praised the team’s spirit and urged them to maintain consistency heading into the international break.
Milan now sit level on 12 points with Napoli and AS Roma, while Juventus trail just behind on 11. The race for the top of Serie A is shaping up to be highly competitive in the weeks ahead.
