Massimiliano Allegri's side prevailed at a packed San Siro thanks to Milan youth product Manuel Locatelli's long-range strike 62 minutes into a largely drab encounter. Juve, who like Milan were missing a clutch of first-choice players from their startings XI, stay third but are within touching distance of Inter and a point behind Milan who have surrendered top spot to their local rivals.
Locatelli was awarded the winning goal but his shot wouldn't have got past Milan's third-choice goalkeeper Antonio Mirante had it not been for a massive deflection off substitute Rade Krunic, making his return from injury. Mirante, who was in goal in place of suspended Mike Maignan and the injured Marco Sportiello, hadn't had a single save to make up to that point, even after Malick Thiaw was sent off five minutes before the break.
