Gallery: ‘Max’s Milan are on a roll’, ‘Scudetto pile’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan secured a huge win in the Sunday six-pointer at San Siro, beating Roma 1-0 to keep things very tight at the top.

The heroes of the night were Strahinja Pavlovic and Mike Maignan. The former got the only goal of the game as he bombed forward on a counter-attack to meet Rafael Leao’s cut-back, and then the latter stopped Paulo Dybala’s late penalty to preserve the victory.
