Milan irresistible in Bologna: makes it 3-0 and gets back to -5 from'Inter

Milan avalanche in Bologna, where the Rossoneri (for the occasion in a yellow jersey) won an even more rounded victory than the 3-0 result suggests. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku built a victory in the first half that became even rounder in the second half with the signature of Adrien Rabiot. Massimiliano Allegri’s team thus returns to -5 from the’leading Inter, felsinei increasingly in trouble: the third home defeat in Serie A is worth the tenth place in the standings.

Bologna seemed to start the match on the right foot, building two chances within seconds with Zortea and then Heggem. But it is a flash in the pan: Milan takes more and more courage after a timely intervention by Ravaglia on Loftus-Cheek, misses the lead with Fofana (header to the side) and finally scores on 20′. Author of the goal is Loftus-Cheek himself, skillful in correcting into the goal a ball recovered by Rabiot after Ravaglia’s rebound on Nkunku’s header attempt. It will be the three protagonists of the action who will score the three goals of the evening for the Devil.

After a strong-willed but lackluster quarter of an hour, in fact, Bologna gave way at 36′: that was the minute Ravaglia felled Nkunku, who had aimed at him taking advantage of a splendid Loftus-Cheek verticalization. The Var awarded the penalty, the same Nkunku converted it at 38′ and Milan put in a crucial victory to stay clinging to the Scudetto train. After a last-ditch attempt by Odgaard before the’halftime, which also failed to find the goal due to Pavlovic&#8217s disturbance, the match closed to never open again.

The reason is what happens in the opening minutes of the second half: at 47′ Miranda blunders everything on a trivial throw-in, in fact serving the ball to Rabiot, who sprints toward the Bologna goal and kicks the tic-tac-toe for Milan. Only Ravaglia avoided further scoring for the guests, barring the goal to Nkunku and in the final minutes of the game to Fullkrug. For the hosts, Casale and Odgaard tried, but Maignan did not tremble.

.

Accordingly, Milan is back on a run after the half-hearted draw on the Roma pitch. The Rossoneri will be back on the pitch on Friday, February 13, in Pisa, as next weekend was scheduled for the fateful challenge against Como eventually postponed to Wednesday, February 18. Delicate Emilia derby against Parma, on the other hand, for Bologna in the next round of the championship.
