Consecutive victories for Milan
Milan continued its successive victories and raised it to 5 when it honored its guest Lecce with a clean 3-0 on Saturday at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, and issued a stern warning to Roma, its opponent in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Milan settled the result of the match in the first half by scoring two goals through American international Christian Pulisic (6) and French veteran Olivier Giroud (20), before adding a third goal at the beginning of the second half through Portuguese international Rafael Leao.
Lecce played the second half with 10 players after its Montenegrin striker Nikola Krstovic was sent off in the last minute of the first.
It is Milan’s fifth successive win in the league and the 21st this season, as it strengthened its position in second place with 68 points, reducing the difference to 11 points over its neighbor and traditional rival Inter Milan, who will be visiting Udinese on Monday at the end of the stage.
