The second half was dedicated to the Milan celebrations and despite some spirited Sassuolo play it was only a matter of time before the away side sealed the title for a 19th time. This time it was Maxime Lopez who was robbed by Rade Krunic, with Leao bursting this time down the right and cutting back for Kessie, who smashed in the third to sign off in perfect fashion ahead of his move to Barcelona as a free agent in the close season. Needing just a point to claim the Scudetto Milan swept their hosts aside thanks to an Olivier Giroud brace and another from Franck Kessie in the first half in front of an army of away fans at the Mapei Stadium.

Olivier Giroud's brace helped Milan win its first Serie A championship in 11 years, edging defending champions Inter Milan by two points.

Giroud was given a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 72nd minute. There was a field invasion at the final whistle, delaying the trophy ceremony. This time Leão’s assist came from the right and Franck Kessié swept it in from close range. “This is the most satisfying of my titles," said Ibrahimović, who also helped Milan to the last of its Serie A titles in his first spell at the club. It had a two-point lead over Inter and a better head-to-head record, which is the tiebreaker. "That’s what I did today, what was important was to win the scudetto.”

AC Milan won the Serie A title on Sunday after a 3-0 win at Sassuolo inspired by two goals from Olivier Giroud.

The 40-year-old has now added one more top-flight winner's medal in Italy to his glittering collection. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexandre Pato and Robinho were joint-top scorers for the club in 2010/11 in Serie A, each managing 14 goals. Ibrahimovic also earned three consecutive Ballon d'Or nominations during his time in blue and black. As Milan controlled the second half comfortably, Inter knew their efforts against Sampdoria would be in vain. A brilliant save from Mike Maignan from Davide Frattesi's header helped to ease any potential Rossoneri nerves. You need to go back to the 2010/11 campaign for the last time AC Milan won the Scudetto, when they were under the stewardship of now-Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri.
