A disappointing night for the men leading the line for the Rossoneri as they did not manage a single touch inside Napoli's penalty area in the first half. Kalidou Koulibaly and Raul Albiol were hardly under pressure as Milan failed to make things happen in the final third of the pitch.

In spite of enjoying a majority of the possession and putting together a string of moves in the beginning of the second half, Montella's side failed to come up with the perfect final ball and it was hard to see where the goals would come from on the night.

Despite finding the back of the net on four occasions in the Europa league, Andre Silva is yet to score a league goal for Milan following his move from Porto in the summer. Kalinic, on the other hand, has managed just 3 goals so far this season.

An injury to Suso, their significant contributor in attack, in the first half, could have serious implications on the rest of their season.
