"AC Milan secured an important 1-0 victory over Lecce thanks to Niclas Füllkrug's goal in the final 20 minutes of the game. It wasn't a vintage performance from Milan, but they eventually managed to break down the away side after having large spells of pressure. Alexis Saelemaekers provided the assist for Füllkrug with an excellent cross from the byline, and it was the decisive moment of quality."
"Cesc Fabregas even suggested that the result was unjust because of how many more passes his side completed, but Allegri stressed that winning is everything. Last night, the script was flipped. Milan had almost 70% of the ball, created 2.61 Expected Goals and five big chances, had 20 total shots to Lecce's three, and six on target to zero for the visitors. They also had 10 corners."
