SERIE A: AC MILAN KNOCK JUVE OUT OF TOP FOUR

AC Milan pushed Juventus out of the Serie A top four with a 3-0 win in Turin on Sunday, increasing their hopes of Champions League football for the first time since 2014.

Brahim Diaz put Milan ahead just before the break with Anton RebicF and Fikayo Tomori adding two more in the second half after Franck Kessie had missed a penalty.

Milan move up to third, equal on 72 points with second-placed Atalanta, with Napoli a further two points behind in fourth and the final Champions League berth.

Juventus are now fifth, one point behind the top four with three games left to play, including next weekend’s clash with newly-crowned champions Inter Milan.

“We had a great game, a victory over a direct rival at this moment in the championship is very important,” said AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli whose side lost 3-1 to Juve in the San Siro in January.

“We still have to fight. But I have a very young team. That is maturing as this evening proved.”
