AC Milan cruised to a 3-0 win at Sassuolo to seal their first Scudetto since 2010-11 and spark wild celebrations among their fans.

The Rossoneri needed only a point to claim the title, but secured the Serie A crown in style with an emphatic victory at the Mapei Stadium.

Two first-half goals from Olivier Giroud and a Franck Kessie effort nine minutes before the interval meant it was all wrapped up early on for Stefano Pioli's impressive side.

For Milan, it was a 19th Scudetto in total and a first since 2010-11, and it saw the Rossoneri reclaim the title from last year's winners - their local rivals Inter.

Milan's success also sparked wild celebrations in the city, with fans flocking to the centre and filling the Piazza del Duomo with red smoke and flags as the title was confirmed.
