Antonio mirante

Stephan El Shaarawy:  Manuel Locatelli showed no mercy against his former club as his deflected strike helped Juventus beat 10-man AC Milan 1-0 away in a highly-anticipated Serie A showdown.

AC Milan were beset by injuries and suspensions as Stefano Pioli had to opt for third-choice goalkeeper Antonio Mirante and Alessandro Florenzi played as a makeshift left full-back, while Juve visited San Siro without Danilo, with Federico Chiesa only fit for the bench, reports Xinhua.

The home side were aggressive from the start as Olivier Giroud's acrobatic strike went wide, before the Frenchman saw his attempt denied by Wojciech Szczesny. On the other end, Filip Kostic blasted it wide, while Adrien Rabiot's shot whistled off the post.
