Former Rossoneri winger El Shaarawy was able to cut the deficit deep in injury time, but Mourinho’s side were unable to find the equaliser as the Giallorossi are defeated for the second time in four Serie A games.

The win puts Milan Joint-top while Roma stay fourth.

Frustration for Luca Gotti, whose team kept their opponents at bay for an hour, but were unable to score against the Milanese. They’ll leave now to gather their belongings.

Simone Inzaghi, on the other hand, will consider the job done, despite the fact that his team made things difficult for themselves. Still, three points is three points, and they’re on their way up.

FC Union Berlin 2-5 Bayern Munich
