AC Milan got the result they needed to be crowned league winners by beating Sassuolo 3-0 at the Mapei Stadium on Sunday night.
The Rossoneri only needed a draw to secure a 19th league title in their history, but they finally made it home, with a brace from Olivier Giroud and a goal from Franck Kessie before half-time, enough to put the result to bed. Below are the game’s best post-match stats, via the official site…
➤ Milan have collected 86 points in Serie A this season, only in 2005-06 (88) did they do better in a single season in the three points per win era.
