MILAN – Gonzalo Higuain scored twice, including his 100th Serie A goal, to give Juventus a 2-0 win at AC Milan on Saturday, putting them level on points at the top of Serie A and plunging their big-spending opponents back into crisis.
A stunning volley from Stephan El Shaarawy gave AS Roma their third straight 1-0 win, this time at home to midtable Bologna in a father-versus-son encounter, in Saturday’s other game.
Champions Juventus joined Napoli on 28 points.
Briefly boosted by a 4-1 win at Chievo on Wednesday, Milan have five wins, five defeats and one draw from their 11 games. .
“The match was played on equal terms, the difference was made by Higuain who scored two outrageous goals,” said Milan coach Vincenzo Montella, whose position is likely to be the subject of more speculation.
“We created as many chances as them, including a number inside the area, but Juventus played well.”
