AC Milan 5 Austria Wien 1: Andre Silva sends Montella's men through to the last 32

Striker Andre Silva scored twice as AC Milan secured a place in the Europa League knockout stages in style at San Siro.

AC Milan put their domestic struggles to one side as they clinched a place in the last 32 of the Europa League with a 5-1 victory over Austria Wien on Thursday.

The Serie A side eased the pressure on manager Vincenzo Montella with a repeat of the 5-1 triumph in the reverse fixture back in September.

Andre Silva scored a hat-trick on that occasion and the striker netted two more on home turf, while fellow striker Patrick Cutrone also found the net twice in a comfortable victory.
