MILAN : Goals by Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud gave AC Milan a comfortable 2-0 win over Bologna at San Siro on Saturday as they moved top after their third Serie A game of the season.

Portuguese Leao opened the scoring in the 21st minute after being found by Milan’s new signing Charles De Ketelaere who got his first assist in Serie A on his first start.

Frenchman Giroud doubled the lead in the 58th minute with an acrobatic volley to wrap up the points.
