Easy-peasy! Ruthless Milan stamp their authority in the Lagoon

There are days where everything flows smoothly. Rossoneri will be thankful that it’s them who had a fuss-free weekend in which they scored an easy 3-0 win at Venezia.Zlatan Ibrahimovic tapped in after just two minutes of play to set the tone perfectly for his team and captain Theo Hernandez made sure Milan completed the win with two goals.Rafael Leao stormed down the left, entered the area and squared perfectly for Ibrahimovic to score unopposed and make it a perfect start for the boisterous away supporters who were already enjoying a memorable away day in Venice. The red and blacks cruised around the Venetian Lagoon, fired flares and sand songs about their historic club on their long-overdue return to this picturesque city.Milan fans wnjoying themselves in the LAgoon (AFP)Milan controlled the play immaculately and pretty much secured the points when he controlled a pass from Leao and dispatched it beyond the former Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero. It was 2-0 to the Rossoneri just after the break.And old boy Zlatan helped earn the third goal as well. Michael Svoboda blatantly used his hands to keep a Swede’s effort out just before the hour mark and he rightfully got sent off. Zlatan himself missed a penalty last weekend so captain Theo placed the ball on the spot and converted it with authority. It was a day when Milan could do no wrong.The third goal put the visitors in auto-pilot for the rest of the game because it was obvious the home side won’t be able to get back into it. Pioli’s boys saw the final 30 minutes out with ease for the clean sheet.The points put pressure on Inter to respond with a win against Lazio earlier on Sunday. Venezia, meanwhile, are now winless in seven and must stop the rot before mammoth clashes against Inter and Napoli in a few weeks time.SERIE A – Round 21SundayVenezia – Milan 0-3 (0-1)/Ibrahimovic 2, Hernandez 48 pen, 59/16.30: (2.65) Empoli (3.50) Sassuolo (2.75)18.30: (1.50) Napoli (4.50) Sampdoria (7.25)20.30: (3.30) Roma (3.35) Juventus (2.35)20.30: (2.25) Genoa (3.25) Spezia (3.60)22.45: (1.45) Inter (4.70) Lazio (8.00)22.45: (1.38) Verona (4.90) Salernitana (10.0)Cagliari – Bologna (postponed)Torino – Fiorentina (postponed)Udinese – Atalanta (postponed)***odds are subject to chang
