– AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud scored his second brace in five days in a 4-0 win over Lazio on Wednesday, as the Rossoneri set up a Coppa Italia semi-final clash with rivals Inter in style.
– Rafael Leao fired Milan in front before Giroud struck from close range twice in the space of five minutes at the end of the first half.
– Things got worse for Lazio when their top scorer Ciro Immobile limped off injured after the break, and their miserable night was completed when Franck Kessie fired home a late fourth.
