Leao goal earns Milan top spot after win at Cagliari
- On Jan 2, AC Milan moved top of the Serie A standings with a 1-0 win at Cagliari, Rafael Leao's second-half goal securing all three points despite a far-from-impressive performance.
- After the break, Ruben Loftus-Cheek headed over before Leao gave Milan the lead five minutes after halftime.
- Leao returned from an adductor injury after missing three games and was decisive, while Massimiliano Allegri introduced Niclas Fullkrug from the bench for his Milan debut.
- Milan extended their unbeaten run in Serie A and sit two points ahead of Inter Milan, who host Bologna on Sunday.
- Cagliari started confidently in the opening half, but Michel Adopo's glancing header was saved by Mike Maignan and they never recovered after Leao's goal.
