🔝Napoli beat Inter to reclaim top spot in Serie A | OneFootball

Napoli made a statement in Serie A by defeating Inter Milan 3-1 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, a result that propels the southern team to the top of the table, surpassing both Inter and Milan.

The match, a direct clash for the top, remained even until a questionable referee decision awarded a penalty to Napoli. Kevin De Bruyne made no mistake from the spot in the 32nd minute, breaking the deadlock and sending the game to halftime at 1-0.

The second half brought a flurry of action. Scottish player Scott McTominay extended Napoli's lead in the 53rd minute with a well-crafted goal. Inter responded immediately and pulled one back in the 59th minute through the same means, a well-taken penalty by Turkish player Hakan Çalhanoğlu, making it 2-1 and bringing excitement back to the match.

However, Inter could not complete the comeback. Napoli managed their lead well and sealed the match in the 66th minute. André-Frank Zambo Anguissa received a pass, charged into the area, and with a powerful cross shot, beat goalkeeper Yann Sommer for the final 3-1. The victory rewards Napoli's good form and punishes Inter, whose streak is broken as they relinquish the Serie A throne.
