Milan win despite a penalty awarded by VAR: Allegri has done better in 30 games than Fonseca and Coincecao in 38

A few thoughts on the individual players, starting with Maignan, who was spot-on in every situation and nothing short of miraculous midway through the second half. However, he was unlucky to concede the goal and powerless to prevent the penalty that sealed the 3-2 defeat. In defence, Tomori was booked early on and consequently held back; he was replaced in the second half by the more enterprising Athekame. De Winter was beaten by Simeone’s burst of speed for the temporary 1-1, whilst Pavlovic was dangerous with his head and lethal with his feet, scoring the goal that gave the Rossoneri a temporary lead. It’s hard to judge his gentle touch on Simeone, which gave VAR the opportunity to award a surreal penalty.
