Pulisic, Leao and Giroud send the Rossoneri 9-points clear of Juventus

AC Milan continued their impressive form in Serie A with a comprehensive 3-0 triumph over Lecce, securing their fifth consecutive league victory in style.

The Rossoneri wasted no time asserting their dominance, opening the scoring just six minutes into the match with a superb goal. Samuel Chukwueze showcased his skill on the right flank, evading his marker before setting up Christian Pulisic for a delightful finish.

Veteran striker Olivier Giroud doubled Milan’s lead in the 20th minute, further solidifying their control of the match. Lecce’s task became even more daunting when Krstovic was shown a red card just before halftime, reducing them to 10 men.

With the numerical advantage, Milan capitalized on their dominance in the second half. Rafael Leão, assisted by Adli, raced clear to score his second goal in as many games, extending Milan’s lead to 3-0 in the 57th minute.

The victory propels Milan into second place in the Serie A standings with 68 points, distancing themselves from Juventus, who have a game in hand. Meanwhile, Lecce find themselves in 13th place with 29 points.
