Carlo Ancelotti’s side secured an important three points with a 3-1 home win against Diego Martinez’s well-drilled Espanyol side.
Vincius Junior once again rose to the occasion. Despite having three Espanyol defenders around him, Vini managed to cut in on his right foot and curl an inch-perfect shot into the bottom corner of the net.
