AC Milan took the lead against Lecce at San Siro, thanks to a poacher’s header from January addition Niclas Fullkrug.
A beautiful ball from Matteo Gabbia unleashed Saelemaekers down the line, and his first touch was superb. However, the ball that he delivered into the back post was even better, with Fullkrug waiting to nod home.

An unmissable chance and a first goal of the night – and more importantly, for the club – for the German. Exactly what Massimiliano Allegri wanted from his new striker, he got. Potentially a huge goal for the season.

nice. and nifty control and cross from Salad
Bad tactics again of Alegri. Leao and pulisic is not macht together,first half zero .
beautiful goal. Saelemaekers control and pass were perfect. Great long ball by Gabbia and finish by FullKrug.
This formation looks so much better with a target player like Fullkrug at the top.
