Look no further, we’ll end up calling it “a Theo Hernandez”. A year after his fantastic ride against Atalanta Bergamo, the French left side of AC Milan did it again this Saturday against Lazio Rome. On a quick hand raise from Mike Maignan on the left side, Hernandez accelerated from his camp, resisted the pressing of Milinković-Savić before sinking into the opposing camp and then unleashing a powerful shot from 25 meters in the top corner. Provedele, the Roman goalkeeper, could not do anything (at 1’20 on the video).
Already in front thanks to Bennacer, Milan then only had to manage their advantage to win 2-0. An important victory against a direct competitor for the Champions League, since the Milanese are now three small points behind Lazio, second in Serie A behind Naples, crowned champion Thursday evening.
