Milan’s sixth win of the season was secured at the San Paolo thanks to a display on-par with that of the Derby,

with the result proving equally as important. The reason being that it was picked up away from home against an extremely tough opponent, one that is also competing with Milan for Champions League qualification. It was a brace from Ibrahimović that ultimately proved decisive; however, Hauge also bagged his first Serie A goal in the dying minutes.

The only negative was a muscle injury picked up by Zlatan in the second half. Overall, the win was the perfect way to regain momentum after the draw against Verona,

while also providing a perfect response to the day’s other results. In terms of the performance itself, the Rossoneri battled on from their strong start before then snatching a second at just the right moment. What followed was the team capitalising on their numerical advantage after Bakayoko’s red card and then sealing the win.

The reality of the result means Milan sit atop the Serie A league table eight matches in. Up next is a trip to face Lille in the Europa League,

with the Diavolo in action at 18:55 CET at the Pierre Mauroy stadium on Thursday 26 in their fourth match in Group H. However, we can first enjoy a wonderful result in Serie A and one dedicated to Coach Pioli.
