It
means
Mourinho
has
lost
a
home
game
in
Italy
for
the
first
time,
while
the
visiting
Rossoneri
made
it
seven
league
wins
in
a
row.

Roma
made
a
bright
start
but
Stefano
Pioli’s
Milan
soon
took
a
stranglehold
on
the
game,
with
Ibrahimovic
at
the
centre
of
most
of
their
good
work
and
opening
the
scoring
after
25
minutes.

Milan
were
too
strong
for
their
hosts,
and
a
second-half
penalty
from
Franck
Kessie
secured
the
points
for
the
visitors,
despite
them
going
down
to
10
men
when
Theo
Hernandez
was
sent
off.
A
late
reply
from
Stephan
El
Shaarawy
mattered
for
very
little.

FIXTURES

Ibrahimovic
gave
the
visitors
the
lead
when
he
fired
a
free-kick
low
and
hard
past
Rui
Patricio.

Milan
thought
they
had
doubled
their
advantage
on
two
separate
occasions
as
Rafael
Leao
and
Ibrahimovic
had
goals
ruled
out
for
offside.

The
away
side
were
then
awarded
a
penalty
early
in
the
second
half
after
Roger
Ibanez
brought
down
Ibrahimovic,
which
Kessie
duly
dispatched.

Milan
lost
Hernandez
to
a
red
card
in
the
66th
minute
after
his
second
booking
of
the
contest.
The
Giallorossi
then
pulled
a
goal
back
in
stoppage
time
when
substitute
El
Shaarawy
fired
past
Ciprian
Tatarusanu.

But
Milan,
who
have
won
more
Serie
A
matches
against
Roma
than
against
any
other
side
(77),
held
on
to
secure
the
win
and
a
10th
victory
from
their
opening
11
games.

What
does
it
mean?
Milan
keep
pace
with
Napoli
at
Serie
A
summit

Milan
remain
neck
and
neck
with
fellow
pacesetters
Napoli
after
Luciano
Spalletti’s
men
won
1-0
at
Salernitana
earlier
on
Sunday.

Milan
and
Napoli
have
now
won
10
of
their
11
matches
in
Serie
A
this
season
–
only
four
sides
had
previously
managed
that
feat
in
the
history
of
the
competition:
Juventus
in
2005-06,
Roma
in
2013-14,
Napoli
in
2017-18
and
Juventus
in
2018-19.

When
in
Rome,
do
as
Ibra
does

Ibrahimovic’s
fierce
free-kick
brought
up
another
landmark
for
the
veteran
Swede.
His
first
league
goal
was
netted
on
30
October
1999,
when
15
per
cent
of
the
players
with
at
least
one
match
in
Serie
A
this
season
had
not
yet
been
born.

The
former
Manchester
United
attacker
has
also
now
scored
11
goals
against
Roma
in
Serie
A,
more
than
he
has
against
anyone
else
in
top-flight
football.

Tough
night
for
Tammy

Tammy
Abraham
was
ready
to
write
the
headlines
as
he
came
up
against
his
childhood
friend
and
former
Chelsea
team-mate
Fikayo
Tomori,
but
it
was
the
Milan
centre-back
who
came
out
on
top
in
Rome.

Abraham
struggled
to
impose
himself
on
the
game
during
his
63
minutes
on
the
pitch,
managing
only
18
touches,
not
winning
any
of
his
four
duels
and
having
just
one
shot
on
goal.

What’s
next?

Roma
host
Bodo/Glimt
in
the
Europa
Conference
League
on
Thursday,
looking
for
revenge
after
their
6-1
thrashing
in
the
reverse
fixture.
Milan
host
Porto
in
the
Champions
League
on
Wednesday,
looking
for
the
first
points
of
their
European
campaign.
