Kessie scores from the spot, misses penalty as Milan down Fiorentina

Franck Kessie scored from the spot and missed a penalty on Sunday as AC Milan defeated Fiorentina 2-0 in Serie A.

The Rossoneri were already leading 1-0 following Alessio Romagnoli’s 17th-minute opener following a Kessie assist when Alexis Saelemaekers was brought down by German Pezzella in the Viola box 10 minutes later.

The visitors had struggled to deal with a through ball as they had pressed forward, and Kessie, taking penalty duties in the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, duly stepped up from the spot to double the hosts’ lead, duping Bartlomiej Dragowski to extend Milan’s lead.
