Krzysztof Piatek said it was "just the start" to his AC Milan career after scoring twice on his full debut as Gennaro Gattuso's side beat Napoli 2-0 at the San Siro on Tuesday to reach the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

Piatek, signed from Genoa last week as a replacement for Gonzalo Higuain, put the hosts ahead in the 11th minute before doubling the lead before the half-hour mark with a fine individual strike.

It was the second time in four days that Milan had dealt a blow to Napoli's hopes of winning a trophy this season, after a goalless draw on Saturday at the San Siro ultimately left Carlo Ancelotti's men 11 points behind Serie A leaders Juventus.

"I expected a night like this. I said that I was ready and I got a brace, but this is just the start," Piatek told Milan TV.

"Both goals were great, even if they were different. I felt good tonight and it was marvellous playing at the San Siro."
