"It looked like being another frustrating night for Milan against a struggling team after 74 minutes, but then a moment of quality finally led to a goal. Matteo Gabbia's ball over the top found Saelemaekers' run, and he hooked in a perfect cross for the substitute Niclas Füllkrug to head home. It was of course a first Milan goal for Füllkrug, and a winner at San Siro under the lights will feel sweet."
"You got the assist, how are you after limping off? "I'm trying to do my best for the team. I got the assist today. I felt something in my adductor, but I didn't take any risks because it was the end of the game and I didn't want to put the team in trouble. I'd prefer someone who's 100% fit and can make the difference come on.""
Alexis Saelemaekers created the decisive chance as Matteo Gabbia's over-the-top pass met his run and he delivered a perfect cross for substitute Niclas Füllkrug to head home. The goal was Füllkrug's first for Milan and sealed a San Siro winner that moves Milan three points behind Inter and seven clear of fifth place. The moment came after 74 minutes amid a frustrating match. Saelemaekers felt something in his adductor, limped off late to avoid further risk, and emphasized preferring a fully fit player to make a late-game impact while praising Füllkrug's proven quality.
