Fullkrug's saving goal

It was the German forward Niclas Fullkrug, on loan from West Ham since the beginning of this month, who finally calmed his team, scoring the winning goal at 31 minutes into the game, his first in Serie A.

His week ended much better than it started: the Italian media reported that he was robbed in his hotel room in Milan, losing about 500,000 euros (R$ 3.1 million) in watches and other jewelry.

Milan's unbeaten streak

This is Milan's 20th consecutive match without defeat in the championship and, thanks to the triumph, the team maintains a three-point lead over Napoli, who defeated Sassuolo 1-0 on Saturday.
