Antonio Nocerino and Zlatan Ibrahimović were on target as AC Milan went top of Serie A by beating Siena 2-0 at San Siro.

Nocerino drove the Rossoneri in front with a low shot through a crowded penalty area nine minutes into the second half. Ibrahimović confirmed victory with a powerfully-struck penalty, awarded after goalkeeper Željko Brkić brought down Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Almost three months and thirteen games into the new campaign and Roma capitulated to the Viola in dramatic fashion. Three goals against and three red cards gave credence to ‘unlucky thirteeen'. As the Giollarosso await the visit of the so far unbeaten leaders Juventus, the storm clouds continue to gather.

"La evaluación de Simeone la vamos a hacer cuanto termine el torneo. Si terminamos con 34 puntos la sensación va a ser una; si terminamos con 25, otra", había dicho Rodolfo Molina (presidente).
