AC Milan thrash Empoli to solidify UCL Slot
Italian giant AC Milan consolidated their place in Serie A’s Champions League positions on Sunday with a straightforward 3-0 win over low sided Empoli.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened the party with a sumptuous early strike and Olivier Giroud’s 31st minute penalty set third-placed Milan on the way to a win, after which Chaka Traore sealed the victory with two minutes remaining.
Missing a host of players to injury and the Africa Cup of Nations, Milan took advantage of their closest rivals dropping points.
