Olivier Giroud, Yacine Adli and Theo Hernandez shine at San Siro as the Rossoneri rush to a 3-1 win
Jose Mourinho's Roma are nowhere near the levels they need to make their presence felt in the Serie A this season.
The 3-1 loss to AC Milan on Sunday night at San Siro proved the Giallorossi are miles away from preferred form. Led by their impeccable French stars - Olivier Giroud and Theo Hernandez, along with a newcomer and compatriot Yacine Adli - the Rossoneri ran riots against the visitors who were, in a way, all on their own, as Mourinho was banned from the sidelines due to an earlier touchline ban.

Adli gave Milan an early lead with his first-ever goal for the club in 21 appearances across all competitions. He dribbled past a Roma defender at the edge of the box and beat Mile Svilar with a left-foot finish at the far post.
The hosts doubled the lead ten minutes after the break. A corner-kick routine and Adli's cross found Giroud, who netted casually from point-blank range with a trademark header.

The visitors bounced back through Paredes' penalty before we saw the most mouth-watering moment of the night. Theo Hernandez and Giroud showcased a perfect one-two, as the striker's backheel provided the full-back with a superb opportunity, and he made the most of it. To put it politely!

It was a remarkable fireball that Hernandez smashed into the back of the net with a little help from the crossbar to seal the win, 3-1.
