AC Milan overwhelmed Sassuolo last night in a Coppa Italia Round of 16 clash, with Paulo Fonseca's Rossoneri scoring six goals (four within the first 23 minutes) to secure their place in the quarterfinals of the competition with minimal effort.
It was a convincing victory in terms of both attitude and scale, as highlighted by Corriere della Sera:
"Milan feasts on goals against Sassuolo. This Coppa Italia still whets the appetite."
The subheading provides some context:
"Six goals, third consecutive win, and quarterfinal qualification."
After the wins against Slovan Bratislava and Empoli, this marks their third consecutive win and extends their unbeaten streak to seven matches. This run, however, includes a couple of draws (against Cagliari and Juventus) that were widely perceived as near defeats.
