Inter tasted victory over Napoli at the San Paolo for the first time in a Serie A match since October 1997 thanks to Romelu Lukaku's double.
Match Report
Romelu Lukaku scored a double as Inter comfortably beat Napoli 3-1 for their first Serie A win at the San Paolo in just over 23 years.
Inter were on Monday briefly replaced at the top of the league by Juventus, who downed Cagliari 4-0, but regained their spot at the summit with an impressive triumph.
Lukaku struck twice in the first half, the second coming thanks to a blunder from Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret, before Arkadiusz Milik halved the deficit in the 39th minute.
Lautaro Martinez made sure of the result in the second half, with the victory Antonio Conte's 100th as a coach in Serie A.

Match Events
14' GOAL! Napoli 0-1 Inter (Lukaku)
Di Lorenzo slips horribly in midfield allowing a loose ball to roll towards Lukaku, who picks up possession before driving at a Napoli defence that simply backs off until the striker lashes a shot low into the bottom corner from 18 yards!
24' Foul! Milik's goal disallowed
Insigne swings in a worrying cross that Handanovic spills under pressure from Callejon allowing Milik to tap into an empty net! However, the referee concludes that Handanovic was fouled by the attacker and a relieved Inter rebuild with a free-kick.
33' GOAL! Napoli 0-2 Inter (Lukaku)
It's Lukaku again! the rampant striker intelligently carves out space once more on the counter-attack and he runs at Manolas before rifling a powerful effort from 20 yards that Meret spills helplessly into the net!
39' GOAL! Napoli 1-2 Inter (Milik)
Insigne whips in a devious cross that Bastoni can only head back to the attacker, allowing him to swing in another delivery that finds Callejon at the back post, where he nods it across goal for an unmarked Milik to tap into an empty net!
62' GOAL! Napoli 1-3 Inter (Lautaro)
Candreva leads a counter-attack down the right flank before whipping in a cross that Manolas clumsily fails to clear, allowing Lautaro to pounce on a loose ball and fire a simple finish beyond a helpless Meret from close range!

87' Handanovic makes a decent save
