Milan took the lead through Theo Hernandez in the first half but goals either side of half time from Giovanni Do Lorenzo and Dries Mertens gave Napoli the lead.

But Kessie converted from the spot after Nikola Maksimovic brought down Giacomo Bonaventura in the box.

Milan had their keeper to thank as he the Dries Mertens early on, before diving on Jose Callejon's scuffed effort from six yards in the 19th minute.

Milan took the lead through a Theo Hernandez volley as he was found by Ante Rebic.

However, Napoli got back on level terms when Donarumma failed to deal with a Lorenzo Insigne free kick and Di Lorenzo scored into an open goal.

Substitute Saelamaekers chopped down Di Lorenzo and Eljif Elmas in quick succession to leave Milan a Man down for a few minutes and the Rossoneri stood firm.

What's next?
Milan host Parma at San Siro on Wednesday,while Napoli are away to Bologna on the same day.

Danny Ings scored his 21st Premier League goal of the season as Southampton defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.  Ings scored with a good finish in tge 41st minute as he put glitters to sweeping Saints counter attack.  He had a chance to double his side's lead, but he sent a tame shot that was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, after Harry Wilson handled in the box. Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Sam Surridge, only for VAR to judge that Callum Wilson was in an offside position whilst also interfering with play, before Substitute Che Adams hit the final nail in the coffin to almost certainly dash Bournemouth's hopes of staying up. Eddie Howe's men are three points from safety with a trip to Everton still to come. Survival on goal difference is the best they can hope for, as 17th placed Watford will condemn the Cherries to the 2nd division for next season, if and only if they can claim a point from one of their last two games with matches agains...

Chelsea have confirmed that they will play in Champions League next season as goals from Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud sealed a 2-0 win on the final day of the Premier League season. Although the Blues had a sluggish start to the game, but two goals in first half stoppage time. First, through a brilliant Mason Mount free kick, before Giroud doubled the lead a short while later. Although the first half of the match was highly devoid of action until a wonderful Mason Mount free kick goal. While, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount combined to set up Giroud, before he rounded Rui Patricio and held off Conor Coady before scoring into an empty net. Diogo Jota brought out a save from Willy Caballero just before the hour. But the Blues were hardly troubled as they held on to 4th position in the league in Lampard's first season in charge.
