Montella is satisfied with Milan's late winner

Serie A this weekend was very active, the top contenders for the title all won their games, but perhaps the most exciting side in Italy right now is AC Milan because they hadn't featured at the top of the table for at least 4 years. A Lapadula late winner gave the Rossoneri a much-needed victory at Palermo and kept them just one point behind second-placed AS Roma and five points behind leaders Juventus. 

Manager Vincenzo Montella gave his analysis after the match, this is what he told Premier Sports: "I am particularly happy with his [Lapadula's] goal. When a coach has the chance to make decisions, it is a great thing. Lapadula started a little behind compared to the others, but he has now started some matches. With work, he can climb the pecking order. I repeat, I am happy with his goal, because he has a fighting spirit and I know how hard he is working for the few minutes he has played up until now.

"We started well in the first 20 minutes with good football and the patience to find the right moment to strike. After the goal we settled down, lowering the pace. I could tell that Palermo were more motivated than us, and they found a deserved equalizer. I liked the reaction of the team, who created four chances in 10 minutes before the goal that gave us a deserved victory. Now, we work with more serenity."

He continued: "Niang has different characteristics from Bonaventura. I want to commend the players who were present. What emerged was a beautiful spirit when we conceded the equalizer, and I am very happy with this victory. Pasalic lost a bit of rhythm but he is a player who has power, can do more and play in midfield roles. He needs to have the hunger of Lapadula to stay at these levels."
