"AC Milan took the lead against AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday night, but ultimately had to settle for a 1-1 draw. In truth, 'settle' might be a tad disingenuous as Roma dominated large parts of the game, particularly in the first half. However, when Koni De Winter headed in a corner in the second half, it looked like another potential smash-and-grab in a big game."
"The lead wasn't to last for too long though as Davide Bartesaghi was penalised for a handball inside the box and Lorenzo Pellegrini converted from 12 yards. There no grand finale, as the two sides were forced to share the spoils. The real winners this weekend are Inter, who have moved five points clear at the top of the table. Yet, the Rossoneri's unbeaten run extends to 21 games and it is another six-pointer that the team emerged unscathed from."
AC Milan and AS Roma played out a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico after Koni De Winter's second-half header was nullified by a Davide Bartesaghi handball penalty converted by Lorenzo Pellegrini. Roma dominated large portions of the match, particularly in the first half, creating early chances and repeatedly troubling Milan's defence. Massimiliano Allegri made three changes, bringing back Luka Modric, restoring Davide Bartesaghi at left wing-back and selecting Christopher Nkunku up front. Inter moved five points clear at the top, while Milan extended an unbeaten run to 21 matches. Set-pieces and Malen's involvement proved influential throughout.
