"AC Milan got the job done against Lazio on Saturday evening, moving to the top of the table after a goal from Rafael Leao. As always, there were some interesting things to note stats-wise. It wasn't the best of games from Milan, that much is clear, but they battled to stay in the game and eventually got their reward. Catching the Lazio defence off guard for just a few seconds, they found a way through and Leao was able to tap it in."
"Taking a look at the general stats from the game, it's fair to describe it as a rather cagey affair. Possession shifted between the two teams rather evenly, with Lazio coming out on top at 53%, while they both had just four shots on target each. Leao's goal yielded a rather high xG, as you can see, while Lazio struggled to break down Milan aside from Mario Gila's early header."
"1-0 is the way to go Yesterday, Milan clinched their third 1-0 win in four games, showcasing what many would describe as Allegri ball or Allegrismo. It has certainly made the endings more dramatic, especially yesterday as Lazio were nearly awarded a penalty. In addition to the above, it was also the Rossoneri's sixth game that they have prevailed with a one-goal margin so far this season."
AC Milan defeated Lazio 1-0 and moved to the top of the table after Rafael Leao's goal. Milan produced a cagey performance but fought to stay in the game and capitalised on a brief defensive lapse to score. The closing stages were dramatic, with Massimiliano Allegri receiving a red card and Lazio having a penalty claim denied. Possession was fairly even with Lazio on 53% and both teams registering four shots on target. Milan have secured three 1-0 wins in four matches and six one-goal victories this season. Leao has six goals and one assist in ten appearances and is performing well in a front two.
