Welcome to Sportstar's live blog of the Serie A match between Salernitana and AC Milan, being played at the Stadio Arechi in Salerno, Italy.

We are still hungry and now we want to cement our place in history.” Last season we made AC Milan history by winning (the Serie A). Stefano Pioli’s second-placed side trail the leader by eight points and face mid-table Salernitana, which has won only one of six Serie A meetings against Milan.

SALERNO, Italy, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Sandro Tonali scored a goal and set up another to guide AC Milan to a 2-1 victory at Salernitana on Wednesday as Serie A ...

[Brahim Diaz](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/246532/Brahim-Díaz), who twice came close in the first half, finally found the net around the hour-mark following a set piece but the goal was disallowed because he was offside. [Olivier Giroud](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/88965/Olivier-Giroud) then sent his header wide but it did not prove to be a huge miss for the visitors as Tonali doubled their lead within five minutes with a long-range strike into the bottom corner after his first attempt was blocked. [Rafael Leao](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/258917/rafael-leao) and Tonali struck in the first half as second-placed Milan moved to 36 points, five behind league leaders [Napoli](/football/team?id=114) who play away to Inter Milan later.

AC Milan clinched all three points against Salernitana and thus started the new year in the best way possible. Several of the Rossoneri players did well and ...

Gabbia (6): Came in and won the ball back immediately. De Ketelaere (6): A positive day for him as he did well on more than one occasion. Tonali (7.5): Brilliant ball to pick out Leao for the first goal and he did really well to score himself. Bennacer (6.5): A key player for Milan especially in the defensive phase today. Calabria (6.5): It was a big difference for Milan to have him on the right-hand side. Tatarusanu (6): Salernitana had a whopping zero shots on target up until their only goal of the game and that says a lot about what the Romanian had to do.
