VERONA V AC MILAN - ROSSONERI A STEP CLOSER TO TITLE

They have retained their two-point lead and need just four points from the last two games to win their first Scudetto since 2011.

The scoreline could and should have been emphasised when Junior Messias was all alone through on goal but he shot over the bar.

Victory is now secure. Florenzi in his first meaningful possession played a one-two with Messias and then drove low into the corner.

Leao and Calabria come off.

He rises to meet a corner from Caprari but heads over the bar.

And it almost squeezes through Montipo's hands but he ultimately parries over the bar.

He gets away from the Milan defence to meet Lazovic's cross but his flicked header is over the bar.

Verona's first change.

He is cautioned for a foul on Calabria.

It does happen when teams have nothing to play for. They find it hard to maintain effort when the game stops going their way.

Throguh the legs of Faraoni but not powerful enough to beat Montipo at the near post.

An unhappy looking Giroud and Saelemaekers come off.

He had time to line up a shot from the edge of the box but his effort did not come close to troubling the Milan keeper.

Faraoni's cross was miss-hit but the Milan keeper taking no chances with it.

HERNANDEZ PUTS A FREE KICK INTO THE BOX

And Tomori wins a header but cannot keeper his effort down.

Tonali with another goal and again the lion's share of the praise deserves to go to Leao. On a break from the corner he drives past Barak and then plays a square ball just outside the reach of Montipo and perfectly for Tonali to turn home at the back post.

And the Milan full back was happy to have Tonali covering back to help snuff out the danger.

Just like Inter on Friday, Milan got a crucial goal to equalise before the break. Will they now get the job done in the second half too.

You don't make Leao angry. He skinned Casale on the left by-line and then forced a low ball inside the six-yard box which Tonali under pressure did well to turn home.
