AC Milan all but conceded the Serie A title to city rivals Inter on Wednesday night, as they suffered a demoralising 2-1 defeat to Sassuolo, as Giacomo Raspadori scored twice after arriving from the substitutes bench.
A trademark long range strike from Hakan Calhanoglu gave Milan a first-half lead at the Stadio San Siro, but the Rossoneri failed to take their chances and were punished when the youngster struck twice in six minutes.

Player of the Match – Hakan Calhanoglu
With Milan struggling to threaten in behind the Sassuolo defence, the attacker provided a goalscoring threat from distance and curled home a wonderful effort from the edge of the box on 30 minutes. Had the Turkish international not seen Andrea Consigli palm away a rasping drive on the hour mark, he may have been the hero, but the Rossoneri collapsed after his was substituted.
