Overview
- The winner came in the 61st minute as Luka Modric started the move from midfield and finished first time from Alexis Saelemaekers’ low cross.
- At 40 years and five days, Modric became the oldest midfielder to score in Serie A for AC Milan, according to Football Italia.
- Referee Matteo Marcenaro revoked a spot-kick after reviewing only the second of two challenges on Christopher Nkunku, prompting Allegri’s red card.
- Goalkeeper Mike Maignan limped off with a right-calf problem, and Allegri said he is unlikely to be ready for next weekend’s trip to Udinese; Pietro Terracciano made his Milan debut in relief.
- The victory was Milan’s first at home this season and lifted them to fifth on six points after three matches.
