As if by magic, AC Milan is doing better when the Théo Hernandez – Rafael Leão axis finds its bearings. Five days after their success in the derby against Inter (1-2), Paulo Fonseca’s players confirmed by crushing Lecce (3-0), all in five minutes. Receiving a cross from Théo Hernanez on a free kick, Alvaro Morata scratched his first kick (38th, 1-0).
Three minutes later, it was the Frenchman’s turn to don the goalscorer’s costume after a devastating relay with Rafael Leão, as during their finest hours (41st, 2-0). Insatiable, the Rossoneri even sent their opponents back to the locker room with a three-goal deficit, Pulisic extinguishing their hopes just before the break (43rd, 3-0). A success which will have the merit of reassuring Paulo Fonseca, announced in the hot seat in recent days. His team is now 2nd in Serie A and can take a breather.
