  /  autty

AC Millan took a big step towards their first Serie A title in 11 years with a late 1-0 victory against Fiorentina at San Siro, piling the pressure on rivals Inter.

Millan created plenty of choices throughout the game, but failed to finish them off which has been a common theme for them recently.

It looked like they were going to drop points, until a huge mistake Fiorentina goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano provided a massive opportunity.

Rafael Leao took advantage of the error to fire the ball into the back of the net to the delight of the home crowd.

Stefano Pioli's side are five points clear of second-place Inter, who face Udinese later on Sunday.

What's next for AC Millan

Millan have three games left, knowing that a victory in each of those matches will see them become champions for the first time since 2011.

They visit Verona next Sunday before hosting Atalanta one week later and travel to Sassuolo on the final day of the season on May 22.
