Yesterday afternoon, Milan avoided their second league defeat thanks to Christopher Nkunku. The Frenchman rescued a lifeless side with a genuine flash of brilliance, as his goal was of real quality given the way it came about.
After Verona and Cagliari, there was a sense that Milan had finally found the right path even against mid-to-lower table opposition.
Instead, the matches against Genoa and Fiorentina were enough to bring everyone back down to earth, with Quotidiano Sportivo (as relayed via Milan News) running the headline at the top of its front page this morning:
"But now Allegri no longer wins."
