Serie A LIVE – AC Milan v Venezia – Latest updates

FULL TIME – AC Milan 2-0 Venezia

It’s all over at the San Siro. Milan have got the job done. They had a tough first half, but stepped up when they needed to after the break and took care of business.

Minute 83 – GOAL MILAN!

Theo Hernandez kills it. Good work from Saelemaekers to make it, playing the full-back in to finish emphatically.

Minute 75 – Pellegri’s on!

Here he comes for his debut!

Minute 67 – GOAL MILAN!

Brahim Diaz makes amends. A simple tap-in from close range after a centre from Theo.

Minute 64 – Embarrassing from Tonali

Tonali goes down looking for a penalty, but his attempt is so bad that even Pioli holds up an apologetic hand. Poor.

Minute 58 – Venezia threaten

It’s from nowhere, but Johnson sends an audacious shot wayward.

Minute 51 – Chance Brahmin!

Milan should probably lead. They work a chance but Brahim can only send it over.

Minute 46 – KICK OFF!

We’re back underway! Milan need to push on now.

Half time – AC Milan 0-0 Venezia

Milan have had the better of things, but Venezia saw a big chance go begging just at the end of the half.

Minute 15 – Milan on top

The Rossoneri are bossing things so far, but still no breakthrough.

Minute 1 – KICK OFF!

We’re underway at the San Siro! Will Milan get back to winning ways? Or will Venezia bounce back with a win?
