Leao strike takes AC Milan to the top of Serie A
CAGLIARI, Italy (AP) --- A second half goal from Rafael Leao gave AC Milan a
1-0 win at Cagliari and sent it back to the top of Serie A on Friday.
The Portuguese winger missed Milan's last three games with an adductor injury
but he returned from the start against the mid-table Sardinians and was
decisive with his sixth goal in 11 league matches this term.
Five minutes into the second half, Leao took a cutback from Adrien Rabiot and
slammed the ball into the roof of the net from 12 meters out.
The win extended Milan's unbeaten run to 16 league games and took it two points
ahead of city rival Inter and four clear of reigning champion Napoli, both of
whuch play on Sunday.
Cagliari remained in 14th place.
