Napoli 3-2 Milan: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Partenopei Pull Off Breathtaking Comeback

Milan threw away a two-goal lead to suffer a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Napoli in their first game of the new Serie A season.

Napoli started with far more confidence than they did against Lazio last week, playing some intricate passing football and forcing Milan onto the back foot. Yet it was the Rossoneri who took the lead after a quarter of an hour when Giacomo Bonaventura netted a superb volley after latching onto Fabio Borini's knock-down.

Though it remained 1-0 until half time, the second half got off to an explosive start when Davide Calabria fired Milan into a 2-0 lead, only for Napoli to pull the score back to 2-2 through a sublime brace from Piotr Zielinski.
