"AC Milan extended their unbeaten run to 23 games, and their winning run to to games, after scoring twice against Pisa last night. Goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Luka Modric were enough to secure all three points for the Rossoneri, but as we will get into, it wasn't as easy as they perhaps would have wanted. Then again, the win is all that matters in the end."
"Even if the first half was a little bit slow, as Gazzetta dello Sport pointed out this morning, Milan definitely should have clinched three points rather comfortably. They dominated possession, forced Pisa to run a lot and also got into good positions. If Niclas Füllkrug had put the penalty away, for example, it would have been a completely different story. The stats are pretty clear too, with more big chances created, a higher xG (also thanks to the penalty) and possession domination."
"The youngster was involved quite a lot in the attack in the first half, but as the game went on, his role became more defensive. Especially when Milan switched to four men at the back and played a lot on the right-hand side. As highlighted by Rising Stars, Bartesaghi made more tackles than any other player on the pitch last night, coming in at 7 successful tackles (9 attempted)."
AC Milan extended their unbeaten run to 23 games and their winning run to two games after a 2-0 victory over Pisa. Goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Luka Modric secured all three points despite a challenging match. Milan dominated possession, created more big chances and registered a higher xG, with Niclas Füllkrug missing a penalty that could have changed the game. The win matched 53 points after 24 league matches, equalling the 1995–96 tally, and tied the club's third-longest Serie A unbeaten run from 1992–93. Davide Bartesaghi contributed heavily defensively, recording seven successful tackles (nine attempted).
