AC Milan have secured top spot in the Europa League Group D, after a commanding 5-1 victory over Austria Wien at San Siro.

The home side were on the back-foot in the beginning of the match, and went a goal down in the 21st minute, after Christoph Monschein rounded the keeper and AC Milan skipper Leonardo Bonucci failed to clear the ball.

Milan were level just six minutes later, as Ricardo Rodriguez volleyed a deep cross into the back of the net. Andre Silva scored his 5th goal in as many Europa League matches, giving Milan the lead after the half hour mark.

Milan took control of the game before the break, when Patrick Cutrone headed in a cross with ease.

The Rossoneri scored two more in the second half. Andre Silva turned smartly and squeezed the ball into the bottom corner with 20 minutes remaining. And Crotone scored his second goal of the night deep in the injury time.
