Watch as Matteo Politano catches the Milan defence napping and gives Napoli the lead just over 60 seconds into tonight’s Serie A showdown.

You can follow all the action as it happens on the Liveblog.

The game was barely a minute old at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona when Giovanni Di Lorenzo floated a ball over the top that Politano allowed to bounce.

The winger cut inside from the right and took on three different Rossoneri players, managing to drill hard into the near bottom corner past Mike Maignan from 14 yards.

Theo Hernandez, Strahinja Pavlovic and Matteo Gabbia were all unable to stop Politano from picking his spot on the simple pass over them.
