"Ruben Loftus-Cheek's header in the first half looked like it had sent Milan on their way to a more comfortable night, but the game seemed to swing when substitute Niclas Füllkrug missed a penalty to make it 2-0. From there the man that conceded the penalty - Felipe Loyola - naturally scored the equalising goal for the home side. Just as it looked like drifting towards another draw against the Nerazzurri, Luka Modric played a one-two with Samuele Ricci and netted the winner with five minutes left. It may have been harder than hoped, however it is a very valuable three points for the Rossoneri ahead of a weekend in which Inter host Juventus and Napoli take on Roma."
"It had been 10 days since Milan had last played, a 3-0 win in Bologna. Massimiliano Allegri made just one change from that starting line-up, with Fikayo Tomori coming in for Koni De Winter. Once again, three of the four forwards available were not at 100%, so Ruben Loftus-Cheek started up front. In front of a packed Arena Garibaldi and with the flare smoke just about clearing, Milan started the game on top."
"The opening exchanges perhaps rather predictably consisted of Pisa sitting deep in their own half and inviting Milan to break them down. Chances were hard to come by though, with Adrien Rabiot heading an Athekame cross over in the 11th minute. Pisa's mission to frustrate Milan in the opening 30 minutes certainly worked as planned, with new coach Oscar Hiljemark looking pleased on the sidelines in his first home game. The Rossoneri were being forced into long balls that were far from accurate."
AC Milan recorded a consecutive away victory, beating Pisa 3-2 thanks to a late Luka Modric goal. Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring with a first-half header. Niclas Füllkrug missed a penalty that could have made it 2-0. Felipe Loyola scored Pisa's equaliser after conceding the penalty. Milan made one lineup change with Fikayo Tomori replacing Koni De Winter, and Loftus-Cheek started up front due to other forwards' fitness issues. Milan dominated early but struggled to break down a deep-lying Pisa setup. The win provides valuable three points ahead of matches involving Inter and Napoli.
