Watch: Pavlovic gives Milan the lead vs. Roma after incredible Leao assist

It has been all Roma in the first half at San Siro, yet AC Milan were the ones who struck first though the rather unlikely source of Strahinja Pavlovic.

Against the run of play, Milan took the lead with just over six minutes left in the first half, and it was Pavlovic who got the goal, his second of the season so far.

Milan were actually defending a Roma attack when they won the ball back and quickly passed out, then it was all Leao as he darted 50 yards to the left byline, cutting back a perfect feed for Pavlovic – who had bombed forward – to fire into the back of the net from close range.
