Milan ran riot at San Siro with three goals in a five-minute spell against Lecce from Alvaro Morata – plus special audience – Theo Hernandez and Christian Pulisic.
See how the game unfolds on the Liveblog.
The Rossoneri didn’t have a shot on target until the breakthrough at the 38th minute, when Morata nodded in the Theo Hernandez free kick from close range.
He celebrated by showing off his new super short haircut and rushing over to the touchline to enjoy the moment with his kids, who flew in today with estranged wife Alice Campello.
It was the first time they’d seen him play in a Milan jersey.

Milan run riot against Lecce
Moments later, Theo Hernandez blasted in at the near post from a Rafael Leao pass, then Tammy Abraham hit the upright only for Pulisic to bundle over the line at the third time of asking.
There’s no stopping that 😮💨
A fine finish from Theo Hernandez doubled AC Milan’s lead in the first half.

Lecce fumbled a 2-0 lead at the 91st minute to draw 2-2 with Parma last week and confirmed their worrying tendency to crumble after conceding a goal.
Another game, another Christian Puliisic goal 🤩
