Milan see off Lazio as Osimhen strikes in Napoli romp
AC Milan overcame a struggling Lazio 2-0 on Saturday to provisionally take top spot in Serie A, while Victor Osimhen came off the bench for Napoli and scored in a 4-0 win at Lecce.
Christian Pulisic gave Milan the lead on the hour at the San Siro when he slammed in a bobbling pass from Rafael Leao for his third goal since joining from Chelsea.
Leao was again involved as Milan made sure of the points in the 88th minute, the Portugal winger bursting into the area before cutting the ball back for Noah Okafor to slide home.
Milan's sixth win in seven matches pushed them three points clear of city rivals Inter, who can reclaim top spot by beating winless Salernitana later on Saturday.
France goalkeeper Mike Maignan returned for Milan after missing the past two games with a thigh injury he sustained in a goalless draw against Newcastle in the Champions League.
Lazio suffered their fourth defeat of the season and dropped to 14th place, with just seven points from as many matches. Napoli secured their second victory in four days as the Italian champions climbed up to third.
