Rade Krunic, Brahim Diaz and AC Milan’s Jens Petter Hauge scored in a 3-1 win over Celtic in their Europa League Group H opener on Thursday but the Italians had to resist a late barrage from the Scottish champions to secure the three points
Krunic opened the scoring as he edged defender Stephen Welsh to lead Samuel Castillejo’s cross in the 14th minute and although Celtic had some decent passes, it was the visitors who created the best chances
Milan scored a brace as Zlatan Ibrahimovic stretched Celtic’s defense with a left ball to Theo Hernandez, and his pass found Brahim Diaz, who shot goalkeeper Vasilios Barkas in the corner of the net just before half-time
Celtic sent Mohamed Elyounoussi for the Welshman at the break and started mounting dangerous flank attacks via Diego Laxalt, on loan from Milan, and his replacement colleague Tom Rogic
Elyounoussi fended off a goal for Celtic in the 76th minute with a point blank header from Ryan Christie’s corner to cause a frenzied arrival as the home side scurried but Hauge’s goal in time to stop put the result beyond doubt for Milan
In the section’s other game, Turkish Lille striker Yusuf Yazici scored a hat-trick by beating 10-man Sparta Prague 4-1 to dominate the group ahead of Milan on goal difference
