Nkunku Scores Twice: Serie A Highlights – Verona vs RB Leipzig

The counter in Serie A is finally unlocked for Christopher Nkunku. After 12 days of Serie A and two assists, the French international scored his first two goals in Serie A this Sunday against Hellas Verona (3-0) on the 17th day.

Following Christian Pulisic’s opening score before half-time (45+1), the Frenchman opened his counter from the penalty spot after the break with a well-placed shot at ground level (48th).

Five minutes later, he did it again by scoring like a fox from the surfaces after a fairly passive intervention from Lorenzo Montipo on a tense shot from the left by Luka Modric which failed on the post (53rd).

Thanks to this victory, AC Milan temporarily regains the lead in the championship before the clash between Atalanta Bergamo and Inter Milan a little later in the day (8:45 p.m.). Allegri’s men have a 15th consecutive match without defeat in Serie A. A good omen to end this year before starting the next against Caglari on January 2.
