"We were confident we'd prepared well for the match. We were coming off a good win and had approached the game well. However, summing up everything we've seen today and recently, we're not managing to play two high-level games in a row, with great concentration, with the same solidity that we once had at such a high level. Now every slip-up costs us dearly, we're a bit light at the back, and they hurt us."
"Ruben Loftus-Cheek fired in the first goal from Adrien Rabiot's cut-back, then Christopher Nkunku won and converted a penalty, before Rabiot turned scorer. The win means that Milan have now extended their unbeaten league run to 22 games, the longest run in Europe's top five leagues. A seven-point gap has opened up over Roma who are in fifth place, while Inter remain five points away."
AC Milan defeated Bologna 3-0 at the Stadio Renato dall'Ara, with goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christopher Nkunku (penalty) and Adrien Rabiot. The victory extended Milan's unbeaten Serie A run to 22 matches, the longest run in Europe's top five leagues, and widened the gap over Roma and Inter. Bologna have won one league game in their last 11 and displayed inconsistency, defensive frailties and a lack of concentration. Vincenzo Italiano cited defensive mistakes, vulnerability to vertical balls and a loss of solidity and confidence since the Supercoppa defeat, calling for work to restore consistency.
