AC Milan beats Fiorentina 2-0 to remain top, unbeaten
MILAN — Despite the absence of its coach and star striker AC Milan maintained its unbeaten start to the Serie A season by beating Fiorentina 2-0 on Sunday to ensure it would end the weekend at the top of the table.An Alessio Romagnoli header and a Franck Kessié penalty in the first half secured the victory in front of the watching Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was injured but cheering his teammates on from the stands.Milan coach Stefano Pioli was also still absent after testing positive for the coronavirus.The Rossoneri moved five points clear of Inter Milan and Sassuolo, which both played on Saturday.

It is Napoli’s first Serie A game since former player Diego Maradona died on Wednesday in his native Argentina.There was a tribute to Maradona at San Siro, as there was in all the Serie A matches this weekend. That included a minute’s silence for the former Napoli player, while his image was also projected on the stadium screens again in the 10th minute, in honour of his shirt number.Milan took the lead in the 17th minute when Romagnoli was left unmarked to head in a corner at the back post.Dušan Vlahovic almost equalized shortly after but his effort was tipped onto the post by Gianluigi Donnarumma.Instead, it was Milan that doubled its lead in the 28th when Kessié converted a penalty after Alexis Saelemaekers was tripped by Germán Pezzella.Kessié had another penalty saved by Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski five minutes from time following a foul by Martín Cáceres on Theo Hernández.Milan could have extended its lead early in the second half but Hakan Çalhanoglu’s strike came off the post.OTHER MATCHESUdinese was missing a number of players because of the coronavirus but managed to win 3-1 at Lazio.Tolgay Arslan, Ignacio Pussetto and Fernando Forestieri scored for Udinese before a late Ciro Immobile penalty.Bologna beat bottom club Crotone 1-0.
