"AC Milan moved top of Serie A as Massimiliano Allegri's side hung on with 10 men to beat champions Napoli 2-1 at San Siro. Allegri's second stint in charge has started superbly, and they went into the meeting with Antonio Conte's side having claimed three wins from their first four games. They needed only three minutes to stun the champions on Sunday, Alexis Saelemaekers' tap-in putting them in front, before Christian Pulisic rounded off a well-worked move just after the half-hour mark."
"Milan had to endure a nervous second half after Pervis Estupinian was sent off and Kevin De Bruyne halved the deficit from the penalty spot, but the Rossoneri held on to leapfrog Napoli into top spot. Milan stunned Napoli with a lightning fast start and took the lead as Pulisic broke free down the left before squaring to the far post for the onrushing Saelemaekers, who could make no mistake from point-blank range."
"Napoli responded well and Kevin De Bruyne forced a superb save from Mike Maignan, but Youssouf Fofana wasted a great chance to double Milan's advantage at the other end when he blazed over after a rapid Milan counter. Pulisic spared his team-mate's blushes, however, the American teed up by Fofana and seeing his effort deflected home after great work from Strahinja Pavlovic."
AC Milan moved to the top of Serie A after beating Napoli 2-1 at San Siro while reduced to 10 players. Milan scored early through Alexis Saelemaekers and added a second via Christian Pulisic shortly after the half-hour mark. Napoli produced chances, with Kevin De Bruyne forcing a save and Frank Anguissa wasting a close-range opportunity, and Scott McTominay had a penalty appeal dismissed by VAR. Pervis Estupinian's foul on Giovanni Di Lorenzo resulted in a penalty and a red card, which De Bruyne converted. Milan defended stoutly as Napoli pushed but could not find an equaliser.
