Juventus draw against AS Roma while AC Milan win

(Football news) AC Milan rode on goals from Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud which gave Rossenari’s a comfortable 2-0 win over Bologna at San Siro on Saturday as they moved joint top after their third Serie A game of the season. Portuguese forward Leao opened the scoring in the 21st minute after he was found by Milan's new signing Charles De Ketelaere who got his first assist in the Serie A on his first start. Five minutes later Belgium midfielder De Ketelaere was again on the act when he split the Bologna defence with a superb long-range pass for Pierre Kalulu who was denied brilliantly by goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski. Frenchman Giroud doubled the lead in the 58th minute with an acrobatic volley to seal the three points in a match where Milan hardly broke sweat as Bologna had no attempts on goal.

"The goal gives me confidence," Giroud told Sky Sport Italia. "Not everything is perfect, but we are confident because we have many talents on the attacking front and we will improve with the passing of time."

Milan manager Stefano Pioli said his side's control of the game was not just tactical but also psychological, adding that they were mature enough to manage game situations. “The matches are difficult. We played well today, but we know we can do even better," he told Milan TV.

AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham scored a late equaliser as they drew 1-1 draw with Juventus on Saturday as he cancelled out an early opener by Dusan Vlahovic as Jose Mourinho's side remained undefeated in the three games in Serie A this season. The capital side have two wins and a draw as Roma remained third in the standings on seven points while Juventus are sixth with five points. Massimiliano Allegri's men squandered their chances towards the end of the game though when a lack of concentration cost them all three points. Jose Mourinho's Roma side went behind when Sebarian international Vlahovic scored after 76 seconds with a sensational free kick from just outside the box.

"At the end of the first half I told the team that I was ashamed to be their coach. I was praying to get to half-time on 1-0, because after what we had done it was a fantastic result for us. "In the second half we deserved to win 1-0, but I don't want to say that the draw is fair because that would be giving my team a credit that we didn't get."Mourinho told reporters

"Mourinho told me that they were very lucky in the first half? Yes, they were lucky there,.When you play a first half like (ours) and you don't close the game, then you can capitulate."" Allegri said
