AC Milan Win 7-3 on Aggregate Against Lazio
Giroud Leads the Way as AC Milan Close in on Juventus
Milan Now Hot on the Heels of Juventus in the Race for Second Spot
AC Milan's emphatic 7-3 aggregate victory over Lazio has put them hot on the heels of Juventus in the race for second spot in Serie A. The Rossoneri produced a dominant performance in the second leg at the Stadio Olimpico, cruising to a 4-0 victory thanks to a brace from Olivier Giroud and strikes from Rafael Leao and Franck Kessie.
The result leaves AC Milan just one point behind second-placed Juventus, who have a game in hand. The Rossoneri will be confident of overhauling their rivals, given their impressive form under Stefano Pioli. AC Milan have won their last four Serie A matches, scoring 14 goals in the process.
Giroud has been in particularly impressive form for AC Milan, scoring five goals in his last four appearances. The Frenchman has now scored 11 goals in all competitions this season, making him the club's top scorer.
AC Milan's next match is a home fixture against Slavia Prague in the Europa League on Thursday. The Rossoneri will be confident of progressing to the quarter-finals, given their impressive home record this season. They have won 10 of their 13 home matches in all competitions, scoring 31 goals.
If AC Milan can continue their good form, they will be a major threat in both Serie A and the Europa League. They have a talented squad with a good mix of experience and youth. Pioli has also done an excellent job in getting the best out of his players.
