Milan entered the international break narrowly off the Scudetto pace after a scoreless draw against Juventus knocked them down from a four-game winning league streak. Christian Pulisic, who squandered a penalty in that encounter in Turin, was unavailable for selection tonight.
Forced to make several personnel changes, Allegri handed Rafael Leao his first Serie A start of the season. However, the superstar’s return to the starting XI didn’t do any good to Milan in the opening 45 minutes as they looked toothless in attack.
Despite an underwhelming first-half showing, Fiorentina drew first blood as Robin Gosens took advantage of Matteo Gabbia’s clumsy reaction to tap the ball into an empty net.
Fiorentina’s celebrations didn’t last long, with Leao bagging a stunning equalizer from long range with an inch-perfect low effort. Like in the match against Juventus, Santiago Gimenez drew a penalty for his team. Leao made no mistake for deciding-goal.
