CREMONA: AC Milan moved closer to Champions League football next season after two late strikes gave them a 2-0 win at Cremonese on Sunday.
Strahinja Pavlovic put Milan ahead in the 90th minute with his shoulder before Rafael Leao&#8217;s simple finish in stoppage time gave the away side a result which flattered a drab display in Cremona.
Milan have little realistic hope of winning the Serie A title as the seven-time European champions are 10 points behind local rivals and league leaders Inter Milan.
Next weekend&#8217;s Milan derby has little more than local pride riding on it with Inter speeding off into the distance with 11 games remaining in the league campaign.
Milan&#8217;s stated aim for the season, however, was qualification for the Champions League and Massimiliano Allegri&#8217;s team are on course for that objective.
Fifth-placed Como are nine points behind Milan, while Roma, seven points behind them in fourth, face Juventus in Sunday&#8217;s headline fixture.
Jamie Vardy&#8217;s Cremonese are sliding towards relegation to Serie B after a 13th straight match without a win, the promoted outfit sitting outside the drop zone on goal difference.
