Mike Maignan new captain of AC Milan

“Magic Mike” strikes again. During the Serie A clash between AC Milan and AS Roma, Mike Maignan stood out by stopping Paulo Dybala’s penalty in the final moments of regulation time. A parade which allowed Massimiliano Allegri’s players to maintain their advantage against the Romans.

AC Milan won by the smallest of margins against the team of Gian Piero Gasperini (1-0), at San Siro, thanks to a goal from Strahinja Pavlović in the first period. With this success, the Milanese return to third in the Serie A standings, with the same number of points as Inter, and one point behind Naples.
