Race for the Scudetto: Lukaku bosses Roma; Giroud a true AC Milan champion
With international week upon us, Serie A signed off with a hatful of goals and above all big news coming out of Naples, where Aurelio De Laurentiis is considering the position of Rudi Garcia. There was also the incredible clash between Genoa and Milan, with Oli Giroud finishing in goal. Let's review the latest round in Italy...
MATCH OF THE WEEK - GENOA 0-1 AC MILAN
The decisive goal was scored by Christian Pulisic. The former Chelsea player was clever in fixing the ball with a touch of his hand but was also quick in stealing time from everyone to strike for the goal and score, but the man of the match was Olivier Giroud.
The French striker finished in place of Mike Maignan, who had been sent off for a very ugly foul, deemed "murderous" by Genoa's president. In the goalkeeper's jersey and, above all, with a great save, Giroud allowed Milan to win the match and move up to first place in the standings. On the internet in the last 48 hours it is impossible not to have seen a meme with Giroud as a goalkeeper: he is the man of the moment, not for a goal, but for what he did in goal. Paradoxical, but it's true: if one is a champion, he is always a champion. Regardless of the position.
All jokes aside: Alberto Gilardino's Genoa keeps proving to be a tough team for everyone, especially the big teams in the league. It may not have an eye-popping style of play, but knowing how to make your opponents perform badly is always credible. Bravo to Stefano Pioli and Milan for managing to bring home this important victory.
