"Luka Modric scored a late winner for AC Milan to beat Pisa 2-1 and close the gap on Serie A leader Inter Milan to five points on Friday. Inter plays fourth-placed Juventus on Saturday. Milan had drawn three of its last six games, including against struggling Fiorentina and Genoa, and made heavy work of a match against the second-from-bottom club that had won only one league game all season."
"Ruben Loftus-Cheek got the opener just before halftime when he rose unmarked to head home a cross from the right, and Niclas Füllkrug missed a penalty as Milan took control after a slow start. However, Pisa threatened to dent the visitor's title hopes when Felipe Loyola equalized with 20 minutes left. Former Tottenham and Real Madrid midfielder Modric came to Milan's rescue six minutes from time when he stole into the box and poked home the winner."
