AC Milan overcomes Empoli with a clean 3-0 and returns to winning away in the league after exactly 3 months. The last one was on October 7th against Genoa. The match against Andreazzoli's team, however, closes the first half of the season for the Rossoneri who extend to +6 over Fiorentina. The match at Castellani was opened by Loftus-Cheek who, on perfect assistance from Rafa Leao, paved the way for Pioli's team. Olivier Giroud doubled the score on a penalty kick but the definitive seal was put by the 2004 class jewel of the Primavera Chaka Traorè who took the satisfaction of scoring his first goal in Serie A. A fantastic week for the Ivorian who a few days ago had stamped the ticket in the Italian Cup against Cagliari, finding the first goal at San Siro. The signature in the league was missing and it came after a splendid restart by Pulisic, concluded exactly by Traorè with great coolness.

Empoli-Milan 0-3: Loftus-Cheek, Giroud and Traorè give the 3 points to the Rossoneri who return to winning away after 3 months

A day to remember not only for Traorè, but also for the 2005 class Spaniard Alex Jimenez who debuted in Serie A, replacing Florenzi at minute 35. A high-level performance by the Spanish defender owned by Real Madrid who played with courage and personality, detaching himself from the line on some occasions to create numerical superiority. Jimenez played on the left wing, in what is generally Theo Hernandez's role. A new resource for Stefano Pioli who had lined him up as a starter in Tuesday's Italian Cup match.
