It has been all Roma in the first half at San Siro, yet AC Milan were the ones who struck first though the rather unlikely source of Strahinja Pavlovic.
Against the run of play, Milan took the lead with just over six minutes left in the first half, and it was Pavlovic who got the goal, his second of the season so far.

Milan were actually defending a Roma attack when they won the ball back and quickly passed out, then it was all Leao as he darted 50 yards to the left byline, cutting back a perfect feed for Pavlovic – who had bombed forward – to fire into the back of the net from close range.
⚽️ GOAL STRAHINJA PAVLOVIĆ! What an assist from Leao 😍

Day 1 that I’m asking tare to get a new striker
Why is Pav often not only our best CB but also our best Striker…? It says a lot he’s often one of the ones working the keeper the most. Glad he’s thriving in the new system tho.
A good performance for the most part to scrape the win out. But still far too reliant on on the slimmest of advantages. Mike’s save rescued the 3 points that couldve already been sage had fofana, leao, or Nkunku not panicked in front of goal again…
U a bum
Hope Allegri will realize Leao is better from the left wing instead of centre
It appears Leao has been given freedom to find space that works. Either central or drifting out wide. It looks like it is working because defenders need to adjust throughout the game and Leao is capitalizing on the confusion he is causing.
Yes, Allegri said his main man is Leao before he even did the first training. Giving him a “free” role makes sense, I mean Allegri was never Guardiola to harass players with his tactics.
