AC Milan 1-0 Pescara: Bonaventura fires hosts into third

The Rossoneri bounced back from midweek defeat but rode their luck at times at San Siro with the visitors seeing two efforts ruled out for offside by the officials

AC Milan moved into the top three in Serie A after a 1-0 victory over Pescara courtesy of Giacomo Bonaventura's second-half free-kick on Sunday, but Vincenzo Montella's men were made to work hard for the win by their dogged visitors.

After a first half in which Pescara looked the better of the two teams, Bonaventura won a free-kick that he drilled low into the net to soothe a nervous San Siro crowd, Milan's fans having expected nothing less than all three points to boost their side's Champions League qualification challenge.
