"AC Milan returned to winning ways at the weekend, beating Fiorentina by two goals to one. There was certainly plenty to take from the game. Whilst it was not a pretty game, Milan were effective in Sunday's late kick-off, managing to overturn a 1-0 scoreline in around 30 minutes, to return to winning ways after the international break. A huge result for several reasons."
"So, the scoreline is the one that matters most; of course, it would be better if the Diavolo had kept a clean sheet. However, scoring two from just more than 2.5 xG is a solid return, showing that the chances Milan took were decent. It is not really a case of underperforming or underperforming here, though it is worth mentioning that the star of the show only contributed 0.81 xG, and that includes a penalty."
AC Milan beat Fiorentina 2-1, overturning a 1-0 deficit within around 30 minutes to return to winning ways after the international break.

Milan scored two goals from just over 2.5 xG, indicating the chances taken were decent. Leao recorded 0.81 xG including the penalty, which highlights the quality of his first strike. The overall performance was solid despite an unpretty match.
