Napoli 0-1 AC Milan: Olivier Giroud’s fires Rossoneri to victory

Olivier Giroud’s goal was all AC Milan needed to claim potentially vital victory in the Serie A title race, against Napoli 1-0 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday.

Milan’s record in Naples is dreadful, having gone into Sunday’s clash with one win in their most recent 14 visits, but the rare success here put them back to the top of the table.

Both teams had penalty shouts controversially turned down inside the opening 15 minutes, though otherwise there were few major flashpoints in an even first half.

Proceedings opened up following Giroud’s 49th-minute poacher’s effort, yet Milan held firm to leave with a valuable win that puts them three points clear of Napoli and two ahead of Inter.
