Sassuolo vs AC Milan: Describe This ‘Wonderful Goal’ In One Word

Image
AC Milan have gotten their first maximum point after 3 consecutive try in the domestic league  resulted in a share spoil. The Italian outfit have gone on to take the lead on the three occasions only to concede late in the game and end up sharing the points. Such repeat was put to bed today after  the Italian outfit resorted to defending in numbers and took to counter attacking measures. With the scores at 2-0 in favour of AC Milan, the Rosseneri broke from the back swiftly on a counter attacking move and lay the ball for their midfielder, Castilleio, to hit from over 45 meters away from the goal post. His hit the ball with so much accuracy that the Sassuolo’s goalkeeper at full stretch couldn’t save the ball from finding the back of the net. Amazing isn’t it???

Manchester United have allegedly held “initial discussions” with Zinedine Zidane to replace Jose Mourinho. Those were the claims made by beINSports and reported by host Richard Keys. But the Red Devils have been quick to rubbish those rumours despite pressure growing on their manager following today’s defeat at West Ham. Keys said today: “Sources close to beINSports are suggesting Manchester United have had initial conversations with Zinedine Zidane.” However, Manchester Evening News’ James Robson says the club have described the claims as “nonsense”. Mourinho is under huge scrutiny after United’s third defeat of the Premier League campaign and his ongoing fall-outs with record signing Paul Pogba. The 3-1 loss at the London Stadium ensured it was the Old Trafford side’s worst start to a season in 29 years and odds on the Portuguese coach losing his job have been slashed. Zidane, who was pictured in London this week, is currently without a club after leaving Real Madrid in the sum
