The Italian Serie A has been competitive for the first time in 9yrs following the dominance of Juventus. Winning their night Serie A trophy, it was time for other teams to step up and this season has seen AC Milan pull their game up a notch to ensure the old ways of things change.

AC Milan in their resilience came all out and opened the scoring in the first 10 minutes after Hakan Calhanoglu swung in the corner from the left to be converted by Ante Rebic. It took the league leaders just 7 minutes to extend their as VAR checked for a potentially dangerous play against Ante Rebic the goal scorer which was adjudged a penalty. Calhanoglu expertly placed the ball behind the net for his first on the night and a second for AC Milan.
As play continued, Lazio were awarded their own spot kick as VAR check spotted an infringement in the box, Ciro Immobile struck the ball with intent but AC Milan shot stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma blocks it not far from Luis Alberto who pounced on the loose ball.
