Milan began their season by losing two of their first three games before going on a five-game unbeaten run, which is a good sign that the players are connecting well with new head coach Vincenzo Montella.

Slovakian midfielder Juraj Kucka opened the game's scoring right at the stroke of halftime with an individual left-footed shot from outside of the penalty box that pierced the top left corner of Chievo keeper Stefano Sorrentino's net.
French striker M'Baye Niang then doubled the lead one minute into the second half also with a mid-range left-footer with the assist coming from midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura.
Chievo's Slovenian midfielder Valter Birsa was able to trim the lead to one-point, 2-1, in the 76th, but an own goal from teammate Dario Dainelli sealed the win for Il Diavolo.
Meanwhile, defending champions Juventus had won its last four matches after experiencing their first defeat of the season against Inter Milan last month. Juve is still at the top spot of the Italian top flight table, five points clear of second and third placers AS Roma and AC Milan.
