Franck Kessie was on song for AC Milan with his debut goal that led the Vincenzo Montella’s men to a commanding 3-0 win over Crotone in their opening Serie A game.

Kessie who joined the San Siro giants on a two-year loan deal from Atlanta this summer, started the party in the Stadio Ezio Scida six minutes after kickoff by converting from the penalty spot.
