"AC Milan secured a huge three points at San Siro on Sunday night, scoring the solitary goal of a hard-fought contest to beat Roma 1-0. Given how good both sides have been defensively this season, it probably needed something a bit different to provide the winning moment, and it came from Strahinja Pavlovic. The centre-back bombed forward to support a counter-attack, and was rewarded by being on the end of a Rafael Leao cut-back."
"In a second half full of clashes and missed chances, Paulo Dybala had a huge chance to give Roma a share of the spoils, yet he failed to beat Mike Maignan from the penalty spot with 10 mi notes remaining. The result means that Milan go above Roma in the table and manage to keep pace with those at the top, going one point behind the league-leaders Napoli too."
