AC Milan striker Rafael Leao was delighted scoring in victory over Lecce.

Leao was particularly pleased to have scored with a header.

He hadn't scored at San Siro since November and said: “I always try to do what I did today for Milan, so if I don't score, provide an assist or help my teammates. The most important thing today was to win, as it had been a while since we won a Serie A match.

“The second goal was good, it's difficult against teams like Lecce to break them down. We scored in the first half and that opened up some spaces. The win allows us to climb the table.

“It was wonderful, I had been thinking about it before the game that I had to score today. It is always great to score at San Siro in front of these fans."

Leao also said: “The coach has been working with me after training sessions, as he wants me to score more with headers, as with my body I ought to be better at that aspect of my game. I'm happy."
