The massive win moves the Rossoneri up to third in the table, level on points with league leaders Napoli and second-placed Atalanta.

How it happened

Milan went into the game, having lost their last home league match to leaders Napoli. The Serie A champions also suffered defeat in Europe last Wednesday, a 3-0 defeat at Chelsea.

The hosts dominated the first half, with Portugal winger Rafael Leao wreaking havoc on Juventus' defense. However, they could only convert one of their chances on the stroke of halftime.

England's defender pounced on a loose ball from a corner to score. The second goal came in the 55th minute, with Brahim Diaz netting an outstanding goal before celebrating wildly with the Milan faithful.

Juventus tried to mount a late comeback but were unsuccessful. The Old Lady are now in their worst run of form this season, with just one win in their last five league matches.

Milan welcome Chelsea to San Siro next week for their Champions League return leg and will be hoping to right the wrongs that happened at Stamford Bridge.

AC Milan inks deal with Off White

Sports Brief earlier reported on AC Milan players rocking Off White outfits after the team made a deal with Virgil Abloah's streetwear company.

The company confirmed the new deal with reigning Scudetto champions Milan and will become their new official style and culture curator.

The company will supply off-field uniforms for both the men's and women's teams.
