Inter Milan produced a remarkable comeback to defeat Napoli 3-2 in their Serie A Matchday 3 clash.
The first half ended goalless, but the visitors struck twice early after the break. Matteo Politano opened the scoring in the 50th minute, and just three minutes later Rasmus Højlund doubled Napoli's advantage.
Cristian Chivu's side responded with an impressive comeback. Lautaro Martínez pulled one back before Marcus Thuram leveled the score. Deep into stoppage time, the Nerazzurri captain completed his brace by scoring the winning goal in the 92nd minute.
The second half was packed with drama and excitement. Inter dominated offensively, firing 29 shots at Napoli's goal, and fully deserved to claim all three points.
After three rounds, the Milan club has a perfect nine points and sits alone at the top of the Serie A standings.
Armenia international midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan once again did not feature. The 37-year-old, who has yet to make an appearance this season, spent the entire match against Napoli on the bench.
