"Milan beat Hellas Verona 3-0 on Sunday to leapfrog leaders Inter and provisionally move top of the Serie A standings thanks to a brace from Christopher Nkunku. Milan struggled to break down a disciplined Verona side in the first half but made the breakthrough from a corner in added time when Christian Pulisic volleyed home near the far post. Nkunku then scored twice in five minutes in the second half, first from the penalty spot after he was fouled in the box and then again when he pounced on a rebound from a Luka Modric shot that came off the post."
"For us today it was important to win against a tricky, fast team, the Milan manager, Massimiliano Allegri, told Dazn. At the moment the Scudetto target will be between 82 and 84 points. It could rise to 86 if a team goes on a strong run. Later on Sunday, Jamie Vardy and co will be trying to frustrate third-placed Napoli when the champions visit Cremonese, before Bologna host Sassuolo. In the evening game, Inter, who started the weekend top, visit Atalanta. This story will be updated"
