Captain Alessio Romagnoli giving the lead to AC Milan in the 17th minute with a headed shot from very close range in the bottom left corner. Assisted by Franck Kessié following a corner conceded by Germán Pezzella. The second goal in the 27th minute with Franck Kessié converting a penalty with a right footed shot in the center.The penalty was conceded by Germán Pezzella following a foul by on Alexis Saelemaekers. Surely, Pezzella not having a good game. Kessié later failing to convert a second penalty in the 40th minute saved by Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski.
Milan maintain top spot in @SerieA with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Fiorentina.
