Frack Kessie converts penalty, misses another as Milan win without Ibra

AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie converted one penalty and missed another as the Serie A leaders brushed aside Fiorentina 2-0 on Sunday, making light of the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not missed by AC Milan during their 2-0 win over Fiorentina on Sunday, with Franck Kessie scoring one goal from the spot.

Alessio Romagnoli put Milan ahead in the 17th minute and Kessie added a second from a penalty 11 minutes later following a foul on Alexis Saelemaekers.

Milan, missing their 39-year-old leading scorer Ibrahimovic through injury, were awarded another penalty before halftime but, after a long wait for VAR to confirm the decision, Kessie saw his weak effort palmed away by Bartlomiej Dragowski.
