"The moment came in the 39th minute when a counter started deep in the Milan zone. Saelemaekers took on the ball, found Leao wide, and Leao ran hard towards the Roma goal. Pavlovic always working hard and running up had followed in the central lane, he received Leao's cut back and put the ball in the net close range. The game was not the same after the goal."
"It was not all good of course and Fofana, a disappointment even before the incident, raised his arm in the wall defending a Roma freekick and Roma were given a penalty. Maignan dove well and pushed the low Dybala ball out for a corner. After the save Marco Guida, the referee, had his moment in a close up with Saelemaekers. The Belgian's celebration was perhaps too intentionally close to the referee and the resulting incident went viral."
"Parma do not represent as a big a threat as Roma but this of course means little in professional football and especially with Milan's track record against teams lower in the standings. Parma enter this week 11 match having scored a Serie A low five goals. Nevertheless Milan players need to act like pros and ready to go from the first minute. The injured list has fewer names on it and crucially Pulisic could be ready for the bench."
The week 10 match versus Roma began with Milan struggling to impose itself and Roma dominating possession. In the 39th minute a Milan counter led by Saelemaekers and Leao created a cut-back that Pavlovic finished from close range. Fofana conceded a penalty by raising his arm in the wall, but Maignan made a low save from Dybala to deny the spot-kick. Saelemaekers' close celebration with referee Marco Guida sparked a viral incident. Milan held on for a vital win. Ahead of week 11 Parma have scored only five Serie A goals. Pulisic could be available on the bench with few expected changes to the starting eleven.
