Gallery: ‘Füllkrug, the anti-Pio’, ‘A Milan-worthy finale’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan just about got the job done against Lecce at San Siro on Sunday night, even if it wasn’t a vintage performance.

With some chances spurned and Falcone in inspired form, it looked like Milan were heading for another case of points dropped against a struggling side. However, Niclas Füllkrug scored his first goal since arriving with 15 minutes left on the clock to secure an important win.
