Jose Mourinho’s Roma are nowhere near the levels they need to make their presence felt in the Serie A this season.The 3-1 loss to AC Milan on Sunday night at San Siro proved the Giallorossi are miles away from preferred form. Led by their impeccable French stars – Olivier Giroud and Theo Hernandez, along with a newcomer and compatriot Yacine Adli – the Rossoneri ran riots against the visitors who were, in a way, all on their own, as Mourinho was banned from the sidelines due to an earlier touchline ban.🇮🇹 Goal: Yacine Adli | Milan 1-0 Roma pic.twitter.com/dZI4Ku075t— FootColic ⚽️ (@FootColic) January 14, 2024 Adli gave Milan an early lead with his first-ever goal for the club in 21 appearances across all competitions. He dribbled past a Roma defender at the edge of the box and beat Mile Svilar with a left-foot finish at the far post.The hosts doubled the lead ten minutes after the break. A corner-kick routine and Adli’s cross found Giroud, who netted casually from point-blank range with a trademark header. 🇮🇹 Goal: Olivier Giroud | Milan 2-0 Romapic.twitter.com/cyXuoLRUj8— FootColic ⚽️ (@FootColic) January 14, 2024 The visitors bounced back through Paredes’ penalty before we saw the most mouth-watering moment of the night. Theo Hernandez and Giroud showcased a perfect one-two, as the striker’s backheel provided the full-back with a superb opportunity, and he made the most of it.
