Gonzalo Higuain scores in the first minute against Inter Milan

It didn't take Napoli long at all to get the lead in their battle for first place against Inter.

Napoli needed to get off to a fast start against Inter Milan to make sure that they had as good a chance at upending the current first place holders and taking that seat for themselves. A fast start is exactly what they got, thanks to who else but Gonzalo Higuain, who scored just over a minute into the match.

That cross-field ball from Lorenzo Insigne disrupted and wrong-footed the entire Inter defense, forcing a poor clearance that Jose Callejon pounced on and put back in to Higuain's feet. That cross-body shot is not one for the faint of heart, but Higuain made it look easy.

This team is so much fun, you guys.
