Sassuolo 1 AC Milan 4: Suso double lifts under-fire Gattuso

Franck Kessie, Suso and Samu Castillejo scored fine goals as AC Milan won 4-1 at Sassuolo to ease the pressure on coach Gennaro Gattuso.

Gennaro Gattuso's position as AC Milan's head coach was strengthened by a timely 4-1 win at high-flying Sassuolo, which featured a trio of brilliant goals.

Reports in Italy suggested Milan's poor start to the Serie A season meant the club were considering replacing Gattuso with former Chelsea and Juventus coach Antonio Conte.

But Franck Kessie's 20-yard drive got Milan up and running at the MAPEI Stadium on Sunday, with Suso and Samu Castillejo also scoring from outside the penalty area in the second half.
