AC Milan and Juventus ended short Serie A slides on Sunday, as Fiorentina held Napoli and high-flying Como suffered a shock defeat to Frosinone. The comfortable victory relieved pressure on Milan head coach Ruben Amorim after a three-match winless run in all competitions had stalled his side’s early progress. Milan beat Lecce 3-0 at the San Siro to rise to fifth, two points behind early pace-setters Roma, Inter and Lazio. Juventus returned to form with a 2-0 home win over Atalanta as Francisco Conceicao and Gleison Bremer struck either side of half-time.
Earlier, Fiorentina maintained their unbeaten run under coach Paolo Vanoli with a 1-1 draw against Napoli.
Adrien Rabiot scored at the end of a flowing move after the break, before substitute Diego Moreira struck with his third goal in two league games. Juventus had picked up one point in their previous two league games but went in front in the 28th minute in Turin when Conceicao scored his first goal of the season with a low shot. Chances fell at both ends in the second half as both goalkeepers were called into action and Juve striker Randal Kolo Muani made a goal-line clearance.
Christian Pulisic marked his first start of the season with his first Milan goal of 2026, making the breakthrough in the 14th minute with an exquisite finish.
Hosts Achieve Victory with Strong Performance
In a remarkable turnaround, the Florence club secured a victory against their opponents, thanks to first-half goals from Giacomo Calo and Giorgi Kvernadze. The match, held at their home ground, also featured an outstanding performance from goalkeeper Lorenzo Palmisani, an Italy Under-21 international, who played a crucial role in the win. This victory comes as head coach Vanoli returned to the team after Fabio Grosso was dismissed following three consecutive losses at the start of the season.
