It’s a much needed victory for AC Milan on their quest to arrive towards the top 5 position.   Milan defeating Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium.  It’s a double joy for the Rossoneri because forward Alessio Cerci scored his first goal as a Milan player after his transfer from Atletico Madrid.     Hero of the match is the most valuable player this season for Milan:  Forward Jeremy Menez scoring the winner goal in the 83rd minute.  Another highlight is defender Philippe Mexes playing his 100th game with AC Milan.

Milan winning their 3rd away game encouraging the team and fans.   For Palermo, the goal is by forward Paulo Dybala converting a penalty.

It is AC Milan to open the score in the 37th minute silencing the Barbera Stadium!   Forward Alessio Cerci defeating Palermo goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino  with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner.  Special joy for Cerci because he scored not only the opening goal, but also his first goal for Milan.  Party time among rossoneri players.

Things complicated for Milan in the 71st minute.  Referee Doveri giving a penalty to Palermo conceded by defender Gabriel Paletta after a foul on forward Andrea Belotti.   It is forward Paulo Dybala to take the penalty spot.. and there you go…. Dybala converting the penalty with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner.   This is the 13th goal by Dybala this season.  Way to go..  Palermo equalizing.

A blow for Palermo!  In the 83rd minute  AC Milan forward Jeremy Menez crushing Palermo delivering the winner goal with a right footed shot in the top left corner.  And now my friends, it seems coach Filippo Inzaghi can breathe and should be thanking Menez for this important victory.    Menez scoring his 16th goal this season.

Total joy for AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi congratulating Jeremy Menez for the winner goal.  Surely, Menez is proving to be the true motor and hope for the Rossoneri.

A great victory for AS Roma surviving the pressure at the Olimpico Stadium.  Roma needed to win this game to reassure the fans while keeping the second position with 56 points a +1 point ahead of Lazio holding the third position with 55 points.   Napoli living a bad moment going down from the 5th to the 6th position meaning out of the Europa zone.   Roma will have to continue battle to keep the second position because the Scudetto now is almost an impossible dream seeing Juventus with a +14 lead.

Roma opening the score in the 25th minute with midfielder Miralem Pjanic defeating Napoli goalkeeper Mariano Andujar with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.   The assist is by forward Alessandro Florenzi.  It’s the 4th goal by Pjanic this season.

Napoli coach Rafael Benitez maybe picking the wrong formation making a turnover leaving among the subs Marek Hamsik, Walter Gargano, Manolo Gabbiadini and Koulibaly.   Oh well, I think it was a mistake not to include key midfielder player Hamsik.    Benitez brought forward Gabbiani in the 62nd minute replacing Jose Maria Callejon, but  not enough time to change the score.   For Benitez,  maybe  the thought is to keep them fresh for the upcoming Europa League quarterfinal game against Wolfsburg….. well….

Here is AS ROMA official starting lineup by coach Rudi Garcia:

AS ROMA (4-3-3):  Morgan De Sanctis; Torosidis, Kostas Manolas, Davide Astori, Jose Holebas; Radja Nainggolan, Daniele De Rossi, Miralem Pjanic; Alessandro Florenzi, Juan Iturbe, Adem Ljajic
