AC Milan made it consecutive wins in Serie A as they beat Bologna at San Siro on Sunday night, with Luka Modric stealing the show.
Modric got the only goal of the game on the hour mark just days after turning 40 years of age, burying a cut-back from Alexis Saelemaekers. It could have been a wider margin of victory but for some missed chances and an overturned penalty, though ultimately the job was done.
