AC Milan made sure that they can enjoy their Christmas break as they ran out 4-2 winners against Empoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Wednesday night.
Franck Kessie rewarded the faith of head coach Stefano Pioli playing him in a more advanced possession as he fired the Rossoneri into a half-time lead with a brace either side of Bajrami’s equaliser. Two more goals came after the interval with Florenzi netting his first for the club via a sweetly taken free-kick and Theo Hernandez’s close range finish.
Below are the reactions of the players on social media…
Florenzi: “It was time!”
Theo Hernandez: “Merry Christmas. See you soon.”
Bennacer: “We close the year with a flourish. A pleasure to see you again @empoli_fc_official, good luck for the rest of the season.”
Kessie: “Good guys! Great away win! The best way to end 2021!”
Kalulu: “Ending the year on a high note.”
