Milan – Roma 3-1 – Jose Mourinho closes in on relegation

In the confrontation with Roma, Milan opened the score only in the 11th minute through the Frenchman Yasin Adli.

In the 56th minute, Olivier Giroud doubled the home team’s advantage with a header, and 14 minutes later Paredes reduced the deficit with a penalty awarded for a foul on Davide Calabria.

Thanks to the dominant ball in the second half, Stefano Pioli’s team broke away in the 84th minute, when the same Giroud passed to Theo Hernandez.

If AC Milan consolidate their third position after this result, Roma will be left with just one win in their last five games and Jose Mourinho’s chair is rocking more and more.
