AC Milan got three first half goals in an entertaining first half against Slavia Praha at San Siro, with the game kicking into life after the away side went down to ten men.
Milan were made to work hard for the opening goal and, as mentioned, Slavia going down to 10 men certainly helped. Rafael Leao cut inside from the left wing and whipped a cross/shot towards the far post, where Olivier Giroud was on hand to head home.
As the pressure suggested, the Rossoneri did get themselves in front and it came from Reijnders. A short corner was not properly closed down by an increasingly tired looking Slavia side, and the Dutch midfielder was given time to step into a shot which he thumped into the bottom left corner.
Another goal followed before the break and again it came via a set piece. Florenzi took the corner just as he did for the second goal, whipping it into a very dangerous area this time where Loftus-Cheek was waiting with the simple task of heading into the back of the net past a helpless Stanek.
