"AC Milan were the ones who drew first blood in the big game at the Stadio Olimpico, with Koni De Winter heading home. Despite how the balance of play had been, and the lack of chances at Roma's end, Milan took the lead as they so often have under Massimiliano Allegri in the big games so far."
"A one-two from a short corner saw Modric curl in an absolutely perfect cross to the far stick, where De Winter was on hand to head into the back of the net for his first goal for the club."
"It was a fitting reward for the Belgian, who has been in much better form in the past few weeks after a difficult start, and has really earned Allegri's trust."
AC Milan opened the scoring at the Stadio Olimpico when Koni De Winter headed home from a Modric cross following a short-corner one-two. The goal arrived despite Roma controlling much of the balance of play and creating few clear chances. De Winter's header marked his first goal for the club. The Belgian has improved form in recent weeks after a difficult start to his Milan career. The goal reflected growing trust from Massimiliano Allegri and reinforced Milan’s habit of taking leads in major matches under Allegri’s management.
