AC Milan got the job done on Labour Day as Rafael Leao’s late goal was enough to grind out a 1-0 win over Fiorentina at San Siro earlier today.

MilanNews recall how the first half was quite balanced with Milan having plenty of early chances but with Fiorentina able to play the ball calmly and to evade the imperfect pressure of the Rossoneri.. Milan did not test Terracciano enough as Giroud, Leao and Theo Hernandez all missed the target from very dangerous positions.
Then Leao’s deserved goal came and it was a liberation of sorts, not just because it was a chance finally taken but also because it came so late and was therefore basically a guarantee of three points.
Regardless of Inter’s win over Udinese, Milan continues to hold their own destiny and they showed today that they are able to get the job done under pressure, even in the final games when the margins for ever are so small. It is with this mentality that the Rossoneri can aim for the Scudetto.
