Watch: Leao gives Milan the lead vs. Liverpool and dedicates goal to Jota

AC Milan took the lead against Liverpool early on, thanks to a nice goal from Rafael Leao at the near post. A classic counter-attack. 

Hopes coming into this game, considering everything, were not massively high. However, Milan started well, looking to get forward when possible and being defensively sound. In fact, it would be them to take the lead.

After a nice break, Leao drove through the opposition half and then finished beautifully at the near post. His celebration was subtle, but he took the chance to hold up the number 20, in honour of his Portuguese teammate Diogo Jota.
