The Serie A title race seems to be heating up as Juventus were pegged back by an inspired AC Milan side. In what was a weekend full of goals in the Italian top flight, both AS Roma and Milan kept up the pressure on leaders Juve, while Frank de Boer looks to be on the brink as his Inter side slumped to another defeat.
Here are the talking points from week nine of Serie A:
Locatelli inspires Milan to win over Juve
18-year-old Manuel Locatelli has made the right noises ever since his Milan debut against Sampdoria last month. And in his first San Siro start for the Rossoneri, the young Italian scored a screamer to settle matters between his side and the champions, Juventus.
Manuel Locatelli scored the winner for Milan against Juventus.
For Juve, it was another unhappy visit to Milan as they have now lost both their San Siro games this season, first a 2-1 defeat to Inter, followed by the 1-0 loss to Milan. The Old Lady’s lead, which seemed insurmountable only last week, is now cut to only two points. Milan will hope to kick things up after their fine win.
