AC Milan off to winning start in Serie A

AC Milan kick off their Serie A campaign with a solid 3-1 victory over Lazio at the San Siro.

Filippo Inzaghi has kicked off his AC Milan reign with a 3-1 victory over Lazio at the San Siro this evening.

Keisuke Honda got the Rossoneri up and running within eight minutes having converted Stephan El Shaarawy's pass inside the box.

Shortly after, Miroslav Klose came close to levelling it up, but he was unable to find a way past Diego Lopez with his shot down the middle.

Sulley Muntari tried his luck from range before the interval, but his effort ended well wide of the target.

The midfielder fared better 10 minutes after the restart, though, picking his spot before firing past Etrit Berisha to double his side's advantage.

Milan added a third through Jeremy Menez's penalty shortly after the hour, but it was not all plain sailing as Alex sent the ball flying into his own net when trying to clear the ball just three minutes later.

Substitute Stefano Mauri produced a stunning save out of Lopez late on, and the summer signing kept out Antonio Candreva's penalty in the dying stages to ensure that Milan held out for a comfortable opening-weekend victory.
