AC Milan delivered a clinical statement of intent on Sunday, brushing aside Hellas Verona with a dominant 3-0 victory at the San Siro. The result propels the Rossoneri to the provisional top spot in Serie A, piling psychological pressure on rivals Inter and Napoli as the title race intensifies.
Still reeling from their recent Supercoppa exit, Massimiliano Allegri’s men responded with a ruthless display that extended their unbeaten league run to four months. With the Scudetto now their sole remaining objective, Milan showed no mercy, effectively ending the contest with a devastating three-goal flurry across the half-time interval.
Christian Pulisic broke the deadlock in the dying seconds of the first half, ghosting to the back post to turn home a flick-on from a Luka Modric corner. The American international, affectionately dubbed “Captain America” by the faithful, has now notched ten goals across all competitions this season, underlining his status as an indispensable creative hub.
The second half belonged to Christopher Nkunku, who secured his first brace on Italian soil within eight minutes of the restart. After winning and converting a penalty himself, the Frenchman displayed elite predatory instincts to tap home a rebound after a thunderous Modric strike rattled the woodwork.
Allegri remained a figure of intense focus on the touchline, demanding perfection even as the three points were secured. With no European distractions, this focused Milan side looks increasingly capable of reclaiming the throne, leaving their rivals with no margin for error in the weeks ahead.
