Milan won at Empoli 4-2, whilst southeners suffer a major setback home against the underdogs Spezia (0-1)
This season has been far from great for the Rossoneri so far, but "the game's not over till the fat lady sings", and that's just the credo they live for at San Siro.
Stefano Pioli's side clinched a 4-2 landslide away victory at Empoli, which puts them as high as runners-up position after the last game of the year. Straight from the kick-off, Milan were a much better side, stomping the underdogs with ease. Kessie's brace, followed by Florenzi's free-kick and Hernandez's goal, sealed the deal for the guests.
