Milan End Winless Run with 3-0 Victory Over Lecce

AC Milan defeated Lecce 3-0 at San Siro on September 21, 2026, ending a three-game winless streak across all competitions. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a well-taken finish following a long ball from Strahinja Pavlovic. Adrien Rabiot doubled the advantage in the 61st minute after a one-two exchange with Goncalo Ramos, before substitute Diego Moreira added a third goal in the 73rd minute to seal the result.

Ruben Amorim's side controlled the match from the outset, dominating possession at 67–73 percent and limiting Lecce's attacking threat throughout. Milan created multiple chances in the first half but failed to convert them until Pulisic's breakthrough. The victory maintained Milan's unbeaten league record this season and lifted them to fifth place in Serie A with 11 points from five matches, moving two points closer to the leading trio of Roma, Inter, and Lazio who each had 13 points.

Lecce, managed by Eusebio Di Francesco, offered limited resistance and extended their competitive head-to-head winless run against Milan to 20 years, having not beaten the Rossoneri since 2006. The result came as a confidence booster for Milan after a difficult run that included consecutive draws against Juventus and Lazio and a 2-0 loss to Benfica in the Europa League.
