– Leao added a fine solo effort and Alexis Saelemaekers slotted a fourth through Meret’s legs.
– Champions League quarter-finalists Napoli, who have been near-perfect all season, have now lost two of their last four Serie A games, having been beaten in just one of their first 24.
– But they still just need to win five of their remaining 10 league games to ensure a first Serie A title since 1990.
– This was their biggest defeat since losing 5-1 to Atalanta in 2007-08.
– Milan are only going to be Italian champions for a few more weeks – and saved their best performance of the season for an opportune time.
