Despite Milan's ups and downs, Empoli stood no chance

Alvaro Morata has finally woken up and Tijjani Reijnders just continued doing what he's lately been doing perfectly - scoring goals. The Spaniard opened the scoring, while the Dutchman added two more for AC Milan's convincing triumph against Empoli - 3-0.Yes, the Rossoneri have Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, who are the team leaders, but Reijnders and his outstanding form should not be overlooked, as he recorded six goals and three assists in 17 appearances so far this season.

Tonight, he found the net twice - in the 44th minute to make the break more pleasant for his team and 80,000 people at San Siro, and 25 minutes later to seal Milan's triumph. Before his "show" started, Morata broke the deadlock after 19 minutes, scoring his only fourth goal of the season.

The Rossoneri kept their fifth clean sheet at San Siro in seven home games for the first time since 2002/2003 season, and a convincing win can always be good for the confidence. Milan will host Sassuolo in a Copa Italia clash in only three days, while next Friday is reserved for a derby duel against Atalanta.
