AC Milan returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion, cruising to a 3-0 Serie A victory over Lecce at the San Siro. Goals from Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira secured all three points as the Rossoneri recorded a sixth consecutive league H2H victory over Lecce.
The result also gave Milan back-to-back Serie A home wins for the second time in 2026 and ended their three-match winless run across all competitions.
Pulisic Gives Milan the Perfect Start
Milan entered the contest needing a response after a difficult spell that had seen them lose four of their previous six competitive home matches.
Ruben Amorim’s side wasted little time taking control.
The breakthrough arrived in the 14th minute when Strahinja Pavlović delivered an excellent ball over the Lecce defense. Christian Pulisic brought it under control superbly before calmly guiding his finish beyond goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone and into the bottom corner.
The early goal allowed Milan to dictate proceedings, dominate possession and prevent Lecce from developing any meaningful attacking rhythm.
Rossoneri Dominate at San Siro
Milan had chances to extend their lead before half-time.
Koni De Winter should have made it 2-0 when presented with a close-range header, but he sent his effort wide. Pavlović also threatened after getting forward, but Falcone produced a smart save.
Lecce, meanwhile, struggled to trouble the Milan defense.
That left the hosts with a slender 1-0 advantage at the interval despite comfortably controlling the opening 45 minutes.
Rabiot Doubles Milan’s Advantage
The pattern continued after the restart, with Milan pushing forward in search of the goal that would effectively put the contest beyond Lecce.
They found it in the 61st minute.
A slick exchange between Adrien Rabiot and Gonçalo Ramos opened up the visitors’ defense before Rabiot swept the ball home to register his second Serie A goal of the campaign.
At 2-0, Milan was firmly in control.
Pervis Estupiñán almost added another as the wing-back continued to provide an attacking outlet, but Lecce’s resistance would eventually be broken for a third time.
Diego Moreira Continues Impressive Scoring Run
Substitute Diego Moreira delivered the final blow.
The summer signing cut inside Jamil Siebert before confidently driving his finish underneath Falcone to make it 3-0.
It was Moreira’s third Serie A goal in just two matches, continuing an impressive spell in front of goal.
Lecce managed to prevent any further damage during the closing stages, but there was never any serious prospect of a comeback as Milan comfortably saw out the contest.
Milan Rediscover Their Winning Touch
The victory represented an important response from Amorim’s team following three consecutive matches without a win across all competitions.
More importantly, Milan delivered a commanding performance in front of their home supporters after an inconsistent period at the San Siro.
Their dominance showed not only in the three goals but also in the limited attacking opportunities Lecce had throughout the contest.
For Lecce, the result extended an increasingly difficult record against the Rossoneri. They have now suffered six consecutive Serie A H2H defeats against Milan, while their wait for another competitive victory in this fixture stretches back to 2006.
