Napoli 0-4 AC Milan: Rafael Leao scores twice in surprise rout
- Published
Champions elect Napoli suffered just a third Serie A defeat of the season as they were demolished by reigning champions AC Milan.
Luciano Spalletti's side remain 16 points clear of second-placed Lazio, with Milan moving up to third.
Rafael Leao scooped a wonderful opener over Alex Meret and Brahim Diaz scored Milan's second.
Leao added a fine solo effort and Alexis Saelemaekers slotted a fourth through Meret's legs.
These sides meet again in the Champions League quarter-finals this month, on 12 and 18 April.
Napoli, who have been near-perfect all season, have now lost two of their past 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.
