Kessie on target as AC Milan extend Serie A winning streak against Roma

Franck Kessie scored a penalty as AC Milan defeated AS Roma 2-1 in Sunday’s Serie A encounter.

Kessie stepped forward to double the visitors’ lead at the Stadio Olimpico, three minutes before the hour-mark.

The effort made two goals for the combative midfielder after playing in eight league matches this season.

Earlier in the encounter, Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for Stefano Pioli's men by netting a free-kick in the 25th minute.

In the second half, AC Milan were reduced to 10 men following Theo Hernandez's expulsion for receiving a second yellow card in the game.
