MILAN, May 3 (Reuters) - AC Milan's season went from bad to worse on Sunday when Mattia De Sciglio was sent off in the first minute of a 3-0 defeat at Napoli, their third successive loss.
De Sciglio was given a straight red card and conceded a penalty for tripping Marek Hamsik when the Slovakia forward burst into the area.
Milan were given a reprieve when goalkeeper Diego Lopez saved Gonzalo Higuain's penalty and the visitors then managed to hold out with 10 men until the 70th minute.
However, they collapsed in spectacular style when fourth-placed Napoli scored three goals in a six-minute spell.
