MILAN — AC Milan secured a 2-0 win over rivals Juventus with goals from defender Fikayo Tomori and midfielder Brahim Diaz in a spirited Serie A clash at the San Siro on Saturday.
Tomori made it 1-0 just before the break when he followed up a shot by Olivier Giroud and rifled the ball into the roof of the net, sending Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny the wrong way.
Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola Tomori!
Weston McKennie, as Christian Pulisic did vs. Crystal Palace, got his first assist of the season in Juventus' 3-0 win over Bologna.
Yes, we’re hyped.
Although the midfielder had started for the Vecchia Signora in the last three games, McKennie came on in the 60th minute vs. I Rossoblù in Sunday’s Serie A league match.
The response? A beautifully placed assist.
The San Siro, Italy’s modern Colosseum, was the stage for a battle between two of Serie A’s finest. Roma traveled north to face Inter Milan on Saturday, and after a thoroughly impressive beginning to the season for new signing Paulo Dybala, The Eternal City appears to have a new Caesar.

Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi will become the first female official to take charge of a Serie A match when Sassuolo host Salernitana on Sunday, the Italian Referees' Association (AIA) said.
Ferrieri Caputi became the first woman to officiate a top-level Italian match last year when Cagliari played Cittadella in the Coppa Italia. She joined Serie A's officiating team in July.
"This is a historic moment," AIA president Alfredo Trentalange told a news conference on Wednesday.
Soccer star and egomaniac Zlatan Ibrahimovic shared on social media a trailer of "Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom," a French movie set to premiere in February next year and in which he showcases his acting chops and fighting skills.
Delayed by the pandemic, the new movie of the famous French comic book duo will have Ibrahimovic in the role of a Roman soldier called Caius Antivirus.
Hirving Lozano no la pasa del todo bien en el Napoli. El Chucky está lejos de ser el favorito entre los aficionados del club, ha ido perdiendo terreno en el once inicial y este fin de semana incluso terminó siendo el punto negro en la victoria 2-1 sobre el AC Milan, la cual dejó al equipo como uno de los líderes de la Serie A.
Juventus’ already dreadful September has somehow managed to get even worse. A miserable run of form saw the club winless with two draws and two losses and thousands of fans calling for “Allegri Out” on social media going into Sunday’s match against newly promoted AC Monza. What followed was a performance that would earn almost any top club’s manager the sack, as Monza handily beat Juventus 1-0 and thoroughly deserved to do so.
In what looked to be an unassuming clash between Italian giant Juventus and newly promoted Salernitana, VAR got all the headlines for all the wrong reasons. A 2-2 draw saw both sides take a point away from the match, but the Turin-based club will feel hard done after new images came out revealing the officiating crew made an appalling mistake, costing Juve two points.
The largest club competition in the world returns on Tuesday. Following the draw on Aug. 25, the Champions League groups have been made and play will begin on Sept. 6 when both games in Group G kick off.
