Nkunku and Rabiot shine as AC Milan closes gap on Inter with 3-0 win over
Bologna
BOLOGNA, Italy (AP) --- AC Milan extended its unbeaten Serie A run to 22
matches and kept the pressure on leader Inter Milan after a 3-0 win at Bologna
on Tuesday, with French players Christopher Nkunku and Adrien Rabiot shining.
After a 1-1 draw with Roma, AC Milan got back to winning ways to move within
five points of city rival Inter.
In the absence of Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring in
the 20th minute from Rabiot's assist. Nkunku made it 2-0 from the penalty spot
after he was fouled by Bologna goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia.
Rabiot completed the win in the 48th minute with a left-footed strike after
intercepting a long throw-in.
After 23 matches, Milan has a four-point lead over third-placed Napoli. Bologna
stands 10th, 25 points off the pace.
