AC Milan’s Primavera side rebounded from the disappointment of their UEFA Youth League semi-final loss in the perfect way by beating Lecce 3-1.
Lecce came to the PUMA House of Football expected to add to their lead at the top of the table given that they are eight points ahead of second-placed Juventus and had won four of their last five games.
However, it was Milan who grabbed the initiative after a goalless first half, with Kevin Zeroli opening the scoring within a minute of the restart after an assist from Hugo Cuenca.

The lead was doubled when a ball in behind the Lecce defence was latched onto by Youns El Hilali, who squared perfectly to Chaka Traore and the winger tucked in at the far post.

Lecce did get a goal back in the closing stages, but the game was put to bed in the fifth minute of added time as Diego Sia made it 3-1.
