Liverpool loanee, Pepe Reina might have been inconsistent with the Reds in the past few season but has started his career with Napoli in brilliant form.
The Italian side that finished runner ups last season are now on top of the Serie A (joint, Roma ahead on GD) after continuing their perfect record by beating AC Milan at the San Siro.
Napoli started pressing the mighty Rossoneri from the word go and were rewarded with a goal early in the game.
It took only 6 minutes for Miguel Angel Britos to open the scoring for the visitors with a free header.
Nine minutes into the second half and former Blancos striker Higuain doubled Napoli’s lead much to the despair of Milan fans.
Balotelli had the chance to revive the home side that too from his favorite penalty spot.
However Pepe Reina became the first goalie to save Balo’s penalty kick as dived to the right to deny ex-City striker.
Reina was arguably the man of the match on the day as he made brilliant saves in the first half, commanded the box well and kept his defense organized.
However, in the stoppage time of second half, Balotelli scored a stunner for the home side but it was too little too late for them as Napoli won all three points.

Eventhough we still don’t need him.nxt tym Super Mario will score him 4 penalties
I still don’t think Liverpool should have sold him. Mingolet is good and all but there was no need at all for the change.
