English midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored twice as AC Milan beat Rennes in the first leg of their Europa League knockout round play-off tie.
The 28-year-old headed in their opener from Alessandro Florenzi’s cross. And he added a second with a stooping header before Rafael Leao netted Milan’s third with a fine finish.
Loftus-Cheek has scored five goals in his past five games for Milan, after only netting twice in his first 21 games following his move from Chelsea.
