In a controlled match, AC Milan easily dominated Venezia FC 4-0. Hernandez and Fofana scored.
AC Milan secured their first win of the season by beating Venezia 4-0, while Juventus moved back to the top of the Italian league despite a second consecutive draw against Empoli (0-0) on Saturday. AC Milan, limited to two points from three games, made no bones about it against Venezia: they overwhelmed the promoted team and scored four goals in the first half-hour of a league game for the first time since 1958.
A symbol: it was the duo Theo Hernandez-Rafael Leao, a substitute on matchday 3 and whose attitude had been criticized once he came back on the pitch, who put Milan on the right track. In the 2nd minute, the French international, served by a clever backheel from his Portuguese teammate, opened the scoring, helped by a mistake from Venice’s Finnish goalkeeper, Jesse Joronen.
Matteo Gabbia doubled the Rossoneri’s advantage from a corner (16th), then Christian Pulisic and Tammy Abraham each scored a penalty to make it 4-0. AC Milan slowed down after the break, but the main thing was assured with the first victory under Paulo Fonseca, synonymous with a jump up to 8th place, four days before the Champions League clash against Liverpool. “We have finally started our season, we have to keep this momentum going,” rejoiced Pulisic.
