He scored his first goal against Napoli, heading in a cross from Theo Hernandez in the first half. Then in the 54th-minute, he scored with his knee. But then after 79-minutes, he had to leave with an injury.

Milan’s other goal was scored by Jens Petter Hauge. Meanwhile, Dries Mertens scored Napoli’s solitary goal. The hosts also lost a man in Tiemoue Bakayoko, who received a red card in the second half.
