"Roma created plenty of chances, while the Rossoneri - as Massimiliano Allegri himself stated post-match - made every mistake they could possibly make in trying to get a foothold in the game. Then, however, came the turning point that changed the game: a lightning-fast run from Rafael Leao and a goal from Strahinja Pavlovic. The home side took their moment, and then on the balance of play in the second half (with some huge missed chances) they deserved their win."
"With the win, Milan moved to within one point of first-place Napoli, who drew 0-0 against Como on Saturday. Roma and Inter are also in second place, level on points with the Rossoneri in what is a cluster at the top of the table. The performance was a display of character from Allegri's side, who are still without two key players in Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic. They initially struggled but then managed to bounce back, deserving of a return to winning ways after two consecutive draws against Pisa and Atalanta."
AC Milan returned to winning ways in Serie A with a victory over Roma at San Siro in a pivotal six-pointer.

Mike Maignan saved a late Paulo Dybala penalty after a Youssouf Fofana handball. The win moved Milan within one point of Napoli and showcased squad character despite absences.
