Watch: De Winter gets first Milan goal to break deadlock against Roma

AC Milan were the ones who drew first blood in the big game at the Stadio Olimpico, with Koni De Winter heading home.

Despite how the balance of play had been, and the lack of chances at Roma’s end, Milan took the lead as they so often have under Massimiliano Allegri in the big games so far.

A one-two from a short corner saw Modric curl in an absolutely perfect cross to the far stick, where De Winter was on hand to head into the back of the net for his first goal for the club.

It was a fitting reward for the Belgian, who has been in much better form in the past few weeks after a difficult start, and has really earned Allegri’s trust.
