Thanks to second-half goal from Olivier Giroud against Napoli, Stefano Pioli’s side – A.C. Milan – have moved to the top of the Serie A table, ahead of their rivals Inter.

After a sluggish first half from both teams, the ex-Chelsea forward scored the game’s opening goal in the 49th minute.

Calabria’s attempt, which was heading outside of the mark, was finished by Giroud after Napoli failed to clear their lines from a free-kick.

After the hour mark, both teams had scoring opportunities, but Maignan and Ospina were outstanding in goal.

Milan now has a two-point lead over Inter, despite the fact that Inter still has a game in hand.
