;AC Milan's pursuit of the Serie A title is back on track, but they were made to work hard to record a 1-0 victory over Chievo at the Bentegodi on Tuesday.
An early strike from Sulley Muntari was enough for the Rossoneri to return to the summit, and although an uncomfortable night was endured by the Milanese outfit, they ground out the victory to edge two points clear of Juventus, having played a game more.
The champions gave a first league start of the season to Mattia De Sciglio at left-back, while Gennaro Gattuso was welcomed back into the XI for the first time since September as the visitors' injury problems were made plain. But even he failed to provide inspiration to what was a lacklustre Milan display.
An uncertain beginning to the match saw Massimiliano Allegri's men frequently squander possession, with Michael Bradley and Co doing their utmost to unsettle thei lethargic visitors, who struggled to stamp their authority.
