Tijjani Reijnders' double and a goal by Álvaro Morata saw AC Milan comfortably beat Empoli 3-0 in a foggy San Siro in Serie A on Saturday.

Morata put Milan in the lead in the 19th minute, scoring with a first touch on a rebound, before Reijnders made it 2-0 just before half-time with a great half-volley and added a third in the second half after an impressive solo effort.

Milan are currently in seventh place in the table with 22 points, seven points behind leaders Napoli, who are visiting 11th-placed Torino on Sunday.They still have one more game to play, since their match at Bologna was postponed in October because of flooding in the region.

Milan, who have had a tough time recently in the league but have been doing well in the Champions League, gave the fans something to cheer about, having only won once in their previous four league games.

Milan beat Slovan Bratislava 3-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday, marking their third consecutive victory in the competition. This streak also includes a 3-1 win at champions Real Madrid.

The hosts were the better team in the match against Empoli, creating 20 scoring opportunities in total and making the most of their four shots on target, despite the poor visibility caused by the fog.

Empoli goalkeeper Devis Vásquez had to make an early save to keep out Morata's attempt from a tight angle.

However, the striker was on fire five minutes later when he landed a rebound after Rafael Leão's attempt deflected off an Empoli defender and scored inside the left post.

Christian Pulisic also had a good chance shortly after, striking from outside the box.

The US international made up for it in the 44th minute when he set up Reijnders with a cushioned header, passing on a lofted cross from Emerson Royal as the Dutch midfielder made it 2-0 inside the bottom left corner.

Reijnders wrapped up the win in the 69th minute with a low shot from outside the box. This came soon after Empoli's Youssef Maleh hit the bar in a rare scare from the visiting team.

Empoli, who finished last season just one point above the relegation zone, are still sitting in 10th place with 16 points.

Milan, who are hosting Serie B leaders Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia last 16 on Tuesday, are away to second-placed Atalanta on Friday.
