"AC Milan put on one of their best showings of the season on Tuesday night as they beat Bologna 3-0 away from home. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report this morning, Milan reached 22 games in a row without defeat. Contrary to their usual routine, they took control of the game in the first half, to move five points behind Inter and seven points above fifth-place Roma with a three-goal win."
"In the rather strange attacking duo of Nkunku and Loftus-Cheek, the second striker was the Frenchman. He moved out to the left, cut back, dropped deep, and carved out tunnels for his team-mates to run into. Since the start of the season, Allegri has had to constantly change his forwards. Yesterday, Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic were left out, but those who position themselves up front always manage to score."
"For the first time all season, Allegri had to do without Saelemaekers, who was injured. The great tactical and dynamic work of the Belgian fell on Zachary Athekame, making just his second start. However, the Swiss player was very useful. He stayed on his flank and was perhaps underestimated by Bologna, but the result is that he delivers sharp crosses, including the one that ended up leading to the first goal. When he came off after over an hour, he received deserved praise."
AC Milan beat Bologna 3-0 away, extending an unbeaten run to 22 matches and moving five points behind Inter and seven above fifth-place Roma. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku (penalty) scored before half-time and Adrien Rabiot added an early second-half goal. Nkunku operated as a second striker, drifting left and creating channels for teammates. Bologna lacked their usual aggressive energy and were exposed on the flanks. Allegri rotated the attack, leaving out Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, while Zachary Athekame provided sharp crosses and assisted the opening goal.
