AC Milan vs. Sassuolo: Winners and Losers from Serie A Game

A late winner ensured AC Milan won their first Serie A game in over a month with a 2-1 victory at home to Sassuolo on Sunday afternoon.

After a cagey opening with few real chances for either side, Milan were given a penalty on 31 minutes following a good pass from Alessio Cerci that put Carlos Bacca through on goal.

Bacca drew the foul from Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli—who was sent off as a consequence—before converting the penalty to give Milan a 1-0 advantage.

Sinisa Mihajlovic appeared relaxed prior to kick-off, but the smile was wiped from his face early in the second half as a well-struck Domenico Berardi free-kick drew 10-man Sassuolo level on 53 minutes.
