Marchisio breaks Milan hearts | Claudio Marchisio scored two late goals to lead Juventus to an impressive 2-0 win over Italian champions AC Milan in tonight’s highly anticipated Serie A clash.
Italy international Marchisio clinically finished past Christian Abbiati in the Rossoneri goal to give the Old Lady a well deserved lead at the Juventus Stadium with only three minutes of regulation time left.
A minute later, the visitors were reduced to 10 men as Kevin Prince-Boateng was controversially sent off for a second yellow card even though he had only handled the ball when play was stopped.
As Massimiliano Allegri urged his Milan side forward in the late stages of the game, Marchisio got at the end of a counter-attack to unleash a long-range strike in stoppage time.
Although the midfielder could not connect properly and it seemed that Abbiati would collect the shot, the goalkeeper fumbled the ball behind the line to gift the Bianconeri a lopsided edge in the final score in addition to three massive points at home.
Scenes of joy erupted across Turin but emotions are certainly contrasting in the city of Milan, which has been home to the Scudetto for the last half a decade.
Former champions Inter Milan suffered yet another defeat in a disappointing season thus far when Napoli crushed them 3-0 at the Giuseppe Meazza last night and tonight, the current champions suffered a similar fate.
The 2-0 defeat marked Milan’s second straight loss on the road following a very disappointing 3-1 reverse against Napoli two weeks ago.
Afer the upcoming break for internationals, Inter will travel to Catania while Milan welcome Palermo to San Siro.
Meanwhile, joint-leaders Napoli and Juventus will go up against Parma and Chievo Verona, respectively.
