Milan are racking up the points to secure UCL football but it has not been pretty, Pioli needs to work on the system. AC Milan hosted Empoli at the San Siro in the early kick off as Stefano Pioli heavily rotated his side. Milan scraped a 1-0 victory with a goal in the first half but looked toothless in attack and largely lacking a game plan.
Christian Pulisic came up big yet again scoring the winning goal and securing all three points for Milan. Pulisic side-footed in and took a deflection off the centre back after Noah Okafor cut back a low cross on a quick counter attack. Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori are the big winners today as they started together for the first time in over 100 days and secured a clean sheet. Mike Maignan was relatively untested throughout the game but will appreciate the improvement.
Some key players got a rest ahead of the UEL crunch tie in the midweek which is a huge bonus and Milan temporarily got into second place with Juventus yet to play.
