Rafael Leao strikes late as Milan earn precious win over Fiorentina
1 min read
Milan moved closer to a first Serie A title triumph in 11 years thanks to a late strike from Rafael Leao in Sunday’s 1-0 home win over Fiorentina.
Inter’s shock 2-1 loss to Bologna in midweek handed the Scudetto initiative to Milan and the Rossoneri just about took full advantage with this third league victory in a row.
The visitors had lost three games in a row in all competitions but frustrated their table-topping opponents until Leao made the most of an error to fire in an 82nd-minute winner.
That strike was enough as Milan moved five points clear of Inter, who travel to Udinese later on Sunday. Should it come to it, the Rossoneri boast the better head-to-head record.
