"Christopher Nkunku scored a second-half brace in AC Milan's 3-0 win over Verona to move Massimiliano Allegri's side two points clear at the top of Serie A. Christian Pulisic had got the ball rolling in the first half for the hosts, but a dominant second-half performance ensured they leapfrogged rivals Inter to the summit ahead of their match later on Sunday. There was little goalmouth action in the early stages, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek hitting a pacey drive just wide from the edge of the box in the best of the chances."
"Pulisic peeled away at the far post during a right-sided corner and turned Adrien Rabiot's flick-on into the roof of the net from close range. And the hosts picked up where they left off after the break, with Nkunku winning a penalty just 51 seconds into the second half when he was bundled over by Victor Nelsson. He coolly converted the spot-kick, picking out the bottom-left corner,"
Christopher Nkunku scored a second-half brace as AC Milan beat Verona 3-0 at San Siro, moving Milan two points clear at the top of Serie A. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring from close range after Adrien Rabiot's flick-on from a right-sided corner. Nkunku won a penalty 51 seconds into the second half and converted, then added a second in the 53rd minute after Lorenzo Montipo tipped a Luka Modric shot onto the post. Verona had a late goal ruled out for a prior foul on goalkeeper Mike Maignan. Nkunku had been goalless in his previous 11 Serie A appearances.
