PULISIC STRIKE LIFTS PRESSURE ON PIOLI AS AC MILAN END 2023 WITH VICTORY
A Christian Pulisic goal mid-way through the second half gave AC Milan a much-needed win at home to lift the growing pressure on manager Stefano Pioli.
A makeshift Milan side hampered by injury put in an uninspiring performance against struggling Sassuolo. There were very few opportunities for either side in what was a cagey first half. Milan did manage to put the ball in the net twice in the form of Bennacer and Leao but both goals were quickly, and correctly ruled out for offside.
It was actually Maignan who was tested more in the first half however many of Sassuolo’s chances came from distance and were never genuine goal threats.
A similar pattern continued into the second half as Milan controlled the game but played at a slow and sluggish pace. The breakthrough was apt for a game of this quality as a deflected Bennacer pass sat nicely for Pulisic who applied a deft chip over a scrambling Consigli.
Milan managed to see the game out against a Sassuolo side who never really threatened. The result will be gratefully received by Stefano Pioli but the performance will only leave more asking if he is the right man to lead man through 2024.
Meanwhile another loss for Sassuolo leaves them just two points off the relegation zone.

SET PIECES COULD BE THE CHANCE
Sassuolo have struggled in open play but have had a few corners and free-kicks in last few minutes. This may be their best route to an equaliser if they can use them more effectively.

SASSUOLO STILL HOPING
As long as it remains 1-0 Sassuolo will feel they have a chance to salvage something. They're committing more men forward but are still struggling to create anything meaningful.

CLOSE FROM FLORENZI

UPHILL BATTLE FOR SASSUOLO
There's been little change for the away side since going behind. Other than a few wayward long shots they are still struggling to create positive chances. With star man Beradi off the pitch now the task will be a lot harder.

FREE FLOWING FROM MILAN
The first goal has taken much of the tension from this game. The crowd seems happier and the Milan players are knocking the ball around with much more confidence. A neat sequence of play ends with goal-scorer Pulisic winning a corner.
