Milan won 2-0 at Udinese in Serie A, with Christian Pulisic scoring in the 6th minute and Omari Hutchinson adding a second in the 65th.
Pulisic opened the scoring early in the first half, and Milan led 1-0 at half-time.
Udinese pressed high and kept the ball well in the first ten minutes of the second half, while Milan's tempo dropped. The home side's spell ended without reward, and in the 65th minute Hutchinson followed up after the Udinese goalkeeper parried a shot only a short distance away. His finish made it 2-0 and settled the game, though one report puts the goal in the 66th minute.
The win takes Milan to 18 points. Reports differ on their position: one account has them third, level with Roma on 18 points, while others say they took back fourth place.
It is Milan's second league win in a row, after a 3-2 win over Atalanta, and it follows their heavy Europa League defeat to Bournemouth.
