Kenyan scores a wondergoal in AC Milan’s San Siro embaressement

Sassuolo moved eight points clear of the Serie A relegation zone, as a stunning 5-2 victory over AC Milan at the San Siro secured a third consecutive head-to-head away triumph.Coming into the contest on the back of a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Lazio, the hosts knew a positive start was needed against their struggling opponents. However, it was Sassuolo who stunned the home crowd and raced to a two-goal lead inside 22 minutes, as Grégoire Defrel and Davide Frattesi both found the net with clinical close-range efforts.Having suffered just one defeat in their last 17 Serie A home matches, the Rossoneri responded in impressive fashion, with Olivier Giroud directing a superb header into the top corner to immediately halve the deficit. In keeping with a remarkable opening half-hour, the visitors quickly restored their two-goal advantage, as the influential Domenico Berardi connected with Hamed Traorè’s corner to guide a header beyond Ciprian Tătărușanu.The drama duly continued into the second half, with Sassuolo awarded a penalty within 30 second of the restart, after David Calabria bundled into the back of Armand Lauriente. The French forward assumed responsibility from the spot and confidently drilled home, as Milan conceded four goals in consecutive Serie A matches for the first time in their history.Faced with a daunting three-goal deficit, the hosts desperately searched for a route back into the contest going into the final half-hour, but Ante Rebić saw a well-taken effort disallowed for marginal offside, adding to the Rossoneri’s frustration.Any hopes of a late comeback were all but extinguished in the 79th minute, when Sassuolo added a fifth through Matheus Henrique, who struck a low strike into the bottom-right corner. This prompted large sections of the home support to leave with 10 minutes left to play, and despite a stunning consolation from Divock Origi, Milan succumbed in embarrassing fashion to a sixth consecutive match without victory for the first time since April 2018.SERIE A – ROUND 20FridayBologna – Spezia 2-0 (1-0)/Posch 37, Orsolini 77/Lecce – Salernitana 1-2 (1-2)/Strefezza 23 – Dia 5, Vilhena 20/SaturdayEmpoli – Torino 2-2 (1-0)/Luperto 37, Marin 69 – Ricci 82, Sanabria 85/Cremonese – Inter 1-2 (1-1)/Okereke 11 – Lautaro 21, 65/Atalanta – Sampdoria 2-0 (1-0)/Maehle 42, Lookman 57/SundayAC Milan – Sassuolo 2-5 (1-3)/Giroud 24, Origi 81 – Defrel 19, Frattesi 21, Berardi 30, Lauriente 47 pen, Henrique 79/17:00: (1.55) Juventus (4.00) Monza (6.25)20:00: (2.25) Lazio (3.30) Fiorentina (3.60)22:45: (1.80) Napoli (3.70) Roma (5.00)Monday22:45: (1.85) Udinese (3.60) Verona (4.80)***odds are subject to change***
