In the wake of its success against Inter Milan in the derby (1-2), AC Milan scored a third victory in a row in Serie A against Lecce (3-0).
Did the surprising success in the derby against Inter launch AC Milan’s season? It is still too early to say, but probably, while she has been skating since the start of this exercise and Paulo Fonseca was challenged, Milan is showing a better face now. This Friday evening, the Lombard club had no problem getting rid of Lecce at San Siro. For almost 30 minutes, the debates seemed balanced, and, in an interval of 5 minutes, AC Milan passed the second to finally score three times and guarantee themselves a fairly relaxing Friday evening. It was first Alvaro Morata who, with a header, brought joy to his new supporters following a free kick from Théo Hernandez (1-0, 38th).
AC Milan is ready to challenge Bayer Leverkusen
Barely three minutes later, the French international turned into a scorer by exploiting Rafael Leao’s pass with a breakthrough then an unstoppable left shot (2-0, 41st). The AC Milan festival continued with the opportunistic achievement of Christian Pulisic, who found himself in the right place at the right time to score following a ball repelled by Falcone, the visitors’ goalkeeper (3-0, 43rd). Able to benefit from a Mike Maignan who multiplied the parades and was particularly vigilant in his cages in order to repel the shot of Ylber Ramadani (67th), Milan will however be able to deplore the exit due to injury of Alvaro Morata, replaced by Loftus-Cheek due to ankle pain.
Entering the game in place of Théo Hernandez, Davide Bartesaghi played his first five minutes as a professional before leaving the field. And for good reason, he was the author of a poorly controlled tackle on Lameck Banda (80th) and expelled for it. The third consecutive success in Serie A will not hurt while on Tuesday a trip to Bayer Leverkusen will be on the agenda in the Champions League.
