AC Milan have lost three games in a row for the first time since September 2019 after being thrashed at home by Sassuolo on Sunday.

Gregoire Defrel and Davide Frattesi fired Sassuolo into a 2-0 lead inside 22 minutes before Olivier Giroud pulled one back.

Domenico Berardi, Armand Lauriente and Matheus Henrique then put the away side 5-1 ahead.

Divock Origi came off the bench to score his first goal of 2023 for Milan but celebrations were understandably muted.

Milan had not conceded five goals in a home league game since April 1997 when Juventus thrashed them 6-1.

Milan have now gone six games without a win in all competitions.

They lost 3-0 to local rivals Inter in the Italian Super Cup on January 18.

That defeat followed back-to-back 2-2 draws in Serie A, against Lecce and Roma, either side of a 1-0 loss to Torino in the Coppa Italia.
