"AC Milan took the lead against Lecce at San Siro, thanks to a poacher's header from January addition Niclas Fullkrug. A beautiful ball from Matteo Gabbia unleashed Saelemaekers down the line, and his first touch was superb. However, the ball that he delivered into the back post was even better, with Fullkrug waiting to nod home. An unmissable chance and a first goal of the night - and more importantly, for the club - for the German."
"Exactly what Massimiliano Allegri wanted from his new striker, he got. Potentially a huge goal for the season."
