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.

Sandro Tonali scored a goal and set up another to guide AC Milan to a 2-1 victory as Serie A returned from a seven-week break.
Lorenzo Pellegrini’s early penalty proved enough for Roma to get back on track with a 1-0 home win over Bologna. José Mourinho’s side moved level on points with fifth-placed Lazio, who fell to a 2-1 loss at Lecce. Rafael Leão put Milan ahead in the 10th minute, picking up Tonali’s pass and going around goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa for a brilliant finish. [Milan](https://www.theguardian.com/football/acmilan) could have added more goals but they missed chances, including from Olivier Giroud – and almost paid the price as the hosts rallied. Napoli struggled for rhythm on their return after the seven-week World Cup and festive break, and Dzeko’s 56th-minute effort from Federico Dimarco’s cross proved enough. Sandro Tonali scored a goal and set up another to guide Milan to a 2-1 victory at Salernitana.

The Italian Serie A is finally back after the break with a crucial game in the title race.
With twenty minutes left, Inter Milan are in control of the match and seem to be in a good mood while Napoli still didn't have a shot on target so far. Napoli, the last match of the day for the Serie A action! Another big chance for Inter Milan with Romelu Lukaku who went close to score the first goal of the match after an incredible assist of Nicolò Barella. Inter definitely deserved to score the opening goal of the game today. Luciano Spalletti's team managed to win 13 games and only drew two so far in the first 15 matches of the season and are the frontrunners for the final victory. The Nerazzurri are eight points behind and conceded far too many goals already (22 in 16 games, the worst team in the top ten) but the game against Napoli showed that they have the quality and the potential to start a winning streak that can lead to a quick comeback in the table. Despite a difficult situation off the pitch, with a new board that is about to be formed on Jan 18, Massimiliano Allegri was able to change the curse of the current Juventus season and won the last seven Serie A matches, beating Cremonese 1-0 on Wednesday. This is where Spalletti's experience and influence in the dressing room have to make a difference in the coming weeks to avoid a possible step back. The news is that we still have a Scudetto race this season, and this is because of three reasons On the other hand, this is one of the games that can shape psychologically a team, especially in a very special city like Naples where the fans have a particular affection for the team that sometimes can put more pressure on the players compared to other cities and clubs. Simone Inzaghi's boys celebrated after the final whistle because this is the kind of win that can completely change the course of a season and open up what appeared to be close to becoming a one-horse race. Inter Milan are back in the Scudetto race after winning 1-0 at the San Siro against previously unbeaten Napoli, who still lead the Serie A table.
Edin Dzeko bust open the Serie A title race on Wednesday with the only goal in Inter Milan's 1-0 win over Napoli which cut the leaders' advantage at the top ...
It's not simple facing Cremonese," said coach Massimiliano Allegri to DAZN. Cremonese are still yet to win a game in their first top flight season since 1996 but they struck the woodwork twice and will be encouraged by successive home draws with Milan and Juve either side of the break for the World Cup. Poland forward Arkadiusz Milik struck his fifth league goal of the season in added time with a free-kick which handed Juve their seventh straight win, a run in which they haven't conceded a goal and will give them a boost after scandal hit late last year. Simone Inzaghi's side sit fourth and are back in the discussion for the Scudetto after their third straight league win, one which puts some pressure on a Napoli team who threatened to run away with the league before the World Cup. Second-placed AC Milan were the main beneficiaries of their local rivals' win at the San Siro, their title defence boosted by a 2-1 win at Salernitana in the day's first match. Milan (AFP) – Edin Dzeko bust open the Serie A title race on Wednesday with the only goal in Inter Milan's 1-0 win over Napoli which cut the leaders' advantage at the top of the league to five points.
Napoli's defeat, which also ended their 11-match domestic winning streak, enabled second-placed AC Milan to narrow the gap at the top to five points.
Udinese and Empoli also drew 1-1, with the visitors reduced to 10 men for the final 11 minutes following a second yellow card for Jean Akpa Akpro. Struggling Sampdoria ended a run of four straight defeats with a 2-1 win at Sassuolo, while Fiorentina and Monza shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw. The visitors laid siege to the Inter goal in the dying stages with substitute Giacomo Raspadori seeing a late low effort saved by Andre Onana.
Inter Milan ended Napoli's unbeaten run in Serie A after Edin Dzeko's second half goal gave the home side all three points.
Lukaku crosses in for Dzeko who lays it off on a plate for Darmian who blazes it over. In the first half he should have had an assist after he laid off Matteo Darmian with a chance that Dzeko himself would have buried. He worked hard up front, looking to get on the ball when he could and make a nuisance of himself. Eleven minutes into the second half Inter deservedly took the lead, Dimarco curled in a fantastic cross from the left and Dzeko was on hand to emphatically head it past Alex Meret. If Napoli won tonight, they'd have extended their lead at the top to a healthy eight points, instead it stays at five. It was a complete contrast to their performance in the first half where, despite having the best chances, they didn't press with any real urgency or purpose.

AC Milan started 2023 with a cagey 2-1 win at Salernitana as they moved within five points of leaders Napoli in Serie A.
Leao for his threat and danger which ultimately gave his side the lead or Tonali for how he dictated much of the game, as well as how calmly he took his goal, and if it wasn’t for a rather underwhelming performance from Milan in the second half, it may have gone to either of the pair. Leao once again causing trouble on the left, beating his full-back, his shot is deflected and causes a scramble in the box, it then falls to Diaz, who calmly plays it into to Tonali, and the midfielder makes no mistakes. They still have a great chance at the title, but that can’t happen with performances such as the one they displayed in the second half today. But it turned out to be merely a consolation goal as Milan held out for the win. His shot was deflected but not cleared as it fell to Sandro Tonali outside the box, and his crack at it was saved by Ochoa, but once again not cleared. And so Diaz managed to latch onto it and calmly pass it into the path of Tonali, who made no mistake with his second bite to put Milan two to the good.

Inter prevented the title race in Serie A from turning into nothing more than a procession for Napoli with their convincing win over the league leaders.
Inter prevented the title race in Serie A from turning into nothing more than a procession for Napoli with their convincing win over the league leaders yesterday evening. Inter Milan Saved Serie A Title Race From Turning Into “Napoli-Fest” With Convincing Win Over Partenopei, Italian Media Argue The fact that the Partenopei looked none of those against an Inter side who outplayed them in virtually all phases of play, then, was a sign that the Serie A title race can have numerous more twists and turns, and that the front-runners are far from invincible.
