Tomori, Diaz guide AC Milan past Juventus

ANKARA

AC Milan secured a comfortable 2-0 win over rivals Juventus in the Italian Serie A on Saturday.

The game seemed set for a goalless first half until English defender Fikayo Tomori broke the deadlock in stoppage time, blasting in from close range after unintentionally blocking Olivier Giroud’s shot from a corner.

Midfielder Brahim Diaz doubled the lead in spectacular fashion shortly after the break.

The Spaniard sprinted past a number of Juventus defenders after taking control of a loose ball at the halfway line, and fired in a shot that Wojciech Szczesny got a hand to but was unable to keep out.

The win moved Milan up to third spot in the Serie A standings, level on points with Atalanta and leaders Napoli, who are both in action on Sunday.

Juventus, on the other hand, dropped down to eighth place with 13 points.​​​​​​​
