Zlatan scores on return for AC Milan

Stefano Pioli’s side are level on a perfect nine points with second-placed Napoli, who beat Juventus on Saturday, thanks to Rafael Leao’s neat strike just before the break and a tap-in from forward Ibrahimovic seven minutes after making his comeback as a second-half substitute

Zlatan Ibrahimovic marked his return to action after four months out with a goal as AC Milan registered a 2-0 win over Lazio after champions Inter Milan drew 2-2 at Sampdoria. 

Stefano Pioli’s side are level on a perfect nine points with second-placed Napoli, who beat Juventus on Saturday, thanks to Rafael Leao’s neat strike just before the break and a tap-in from forward Ibrahimovic seven minutes after making his comeback as a second-half substitute. 

The Swedish star rolled home the simplest of finishes from Ante Rebic’s low cross in the 67th minute to banish a knee injury he suffered at the back of last season, ensuring his team went two points ahead of city rivals Inter and Udinese, who won 1-0 at Spezia earlier on Sunday.
