The Rossoneri handed Jose Mourinho his first ever home defeat in Serie A ending a run stretching over 40 games as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Franck Kessie scored in a 2-1 win that was made more nervy by Theo Hernandez’s red card and El Shaarawy’s late goal.
Below are the front pages from the major papers…
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Ibra power. Milan 2-1 at Roma, stay top with Napoli, on Sunday the derby. Zlatan Show: Ferocious free kick and wins a penalty – ‘We believe in the Scudetto’. Theo sent off, Mou fury.”
Il Corriere dello Sport: “A paradise for two: Milan and Napoli break away +12 over fourth. Roma furious about Maresca. Zlatan scores with a free kick, then the referee gives a non-existent penalty despite VAR.”
Tuttosport: “Scudetto duel. It’s Ibra vs. Napoli! Zlatan inspires Milan against Roma.”
