AC Milan secured a 4-1 win against Monza last night especially thanks to Brahim Diaz, who bagged a brace in the first half. As a result, the Spaniard has already surpassed his goal tally from last season.
The Rossoneri extended their winning run in the league to four games and it was a much-needed boost ahead of the away trip to Zagreb on Tuesday. Not just for the team as a whole, but also for individual players such as Diaz and Divock Origi.
