MILAN, Feb 10: Olivier Giroud’s brace made it four goals in two games for the striker as AC Milan routed Lazio 4-0 to reach the semifinals of the Italian Cup on Wednesday.
After scoring two late goals to help Milan beat league leader Inter Milan 2-1 on Saturday, the France veteran struck twice in the first half.
Five-time cup winner Milan took the lead midway through the half at San Siro through Portugal winger Rafael Leao.
Center half Alessio Romagnoli launched a long pass and Leao latched onto it for his second goal of the competition and ninth overall this season for the Rossoneri.
Giroud turned in Leao’s cross in the 41st then another from countryman Theo Hernandez moments before the break.
Franck Kessie added the fourth goal 10 minutes from time for Milan. (AP)
