Krzysztof Piatek ended his goal drought with a penalty, but Milan were made to work very hard in order to break a Verona side down to 10 men for 70 minutes.
Match Report
AC Milan struggled to break down the 10 men of Hellas Verona until Krzysztof Piatek buried a second-half penalty.
Krzysztof Piatek scored his first Serie A goal of the season to help 10-man AC Milan secure back-to-back victories in a 1-0 win over Hellas Verona, who also had a man sent off in a tempestuous clash at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.
Rossoneri boss Marco Giampaolo restored Piatek to the starting line-up after dropping him from his previous teamsheet and he tucked away a second-half penalty to ensure the visitors claimed all three points from a bruising encounter.
Verona had Mariusz Stepinski sent off after 21 minutes for a dangerous challenge but the newly promoted side matched Milan for long periods and caused Giampaolo's defence plenty of problems.
