"Saelemaekers put Milan into the lead inside three minutes and the goal owed everything to fine work from Pulisic. The United States international went on a driving run to make space for the final ball before teeing up Saelemaekers for an easy finish to put his side one up. And it was two just past the hour mark, Youssouf Fofana getting on the end of a ball from Strahinja Pavlovic"
"The game took a turn in the second half when Estupinan upended Giovanni Di Lorenzo just as he was preparing to sweep Napoli back into the match, conceding a penalty. The referee initially showed a yellow card but after a VAR check the decision was upgraded to a red and Estupinan walked. From the spot, De Bruyne sent Mike Maignan the wrong way to haul the champions back into it."
Napoli slipped from the top of Serie A after a 2-1 defeat to 10-man AC Milan at the San Siro. Roma's earlier victory against Verona had reduced the champions' lead to goal difference, but Milan's win moved them to the summit. Alexis Saelemaekers opened the scoring inside three minutes following a driving run and assist from Christian Pulisic, who later finished a second goal after a build-up involving Youssouf Fofana and Strahinja Pavlovic. Pervis Estupiñán was sent off after a VAR review for upending Giovanni Di Lorenzo, and Kevin De Bruyne converted the ensuing penalty. Napoli pressed strongly late, hitting the post and creating sustained pressure, but could not equalize.
