MILAN, Italy : Napoli's Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia struck first-half goals to earn a 2-0 win at AC Milan on Tuesday and stretch their side's lead at the top of Serie A to seven points.

The hosts were rocked by Lukaku's fourth goal of the season in the fifth minute before Napoli found a second two minutes before the interval with a stunning strike from Kvaratskhelia and Milan were unable to force their way back into the game.

It was Napoli's fifth successive league victory and Antonio Conte's team are unbeaten in nine games since their only defeat this season on the opening day at Hellas Verona.

Napoli have 25 points ahead of champions Inter Milan, who visit Empoli on Wednesday. Milan stay eighth on 14 points.
