Tomori, Diaz guide AC Milan past Juventus
Home win moves Milan up to 3rd spot in Serie A
ANKARA
AC Milan secured a comfortable 2-0 win over rivals Juventus in the Italian Serie A on Saturday.
The game seemed set for a goalless first half until English defender Fikayo Tomori broke the deadlock in stoppage time, blasting in from close range after unintentionally blocking Olivier Giroud’s shot from a corner.
Midfielder Brahim Diaz doubled the lead in spectacular fashion shortly after the break.
The Spaniard sprinted past a number of Juventus defenders after taking control of a loose ball at the halfway line, and fired in a shot that Wojciech Szczesny got a hand to but was unable to keep out.
The win moved Milan up to third spot in the Serie A standings, level on points with Atalanta and leaders Napoli, who are both in action on Sunday.
Juventus, on the other hand, dropped down to eighth place with 13 points.
