– Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored two first half goals against Sassuolo.
– The win took Milan to 5th ahead of Roma who has played one game less.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic rolled back the years with two fine finishes to help AC Milan beat Sassuolo 2-1 in Serie A on Tuesday night.
The 38-year-old found the net twice in the first half as Milan remained unbeaten since the restart of the season and guaranteed a place in the Europa League .
The Swede got in front of his marker to head home from Hakan Calhanoglu’s cross in the 19th minute to score the first goal of the game.
He scored a second, latching on to a through ball before rounding Andrea Consigli and finishing just before half-time.
Francesco Caputo had equalised from a penalty for Sassuolo, who had Mehdi Bourabia sent off in first-half stoppage time.
It was Milan’s seventh victory in the nine games since Serie A resumed following the pandemic-enforced break, having drawn the other two matches.
The win saw the Rosonneri move up to fifth with 59 points, enough to guarantee them at least a place in the Europa League qualifying rounds next season.
Ibrahimovic has impressed since rejoining on a free transfer in December, starting regularly and contributing eight goals and four assists in 17 appearances in all competitions.
