Adrien Rabiot scored one goal and laid on another as AC Milan eased to a commanding 3-0 Serie A victory over hosts Bologna on Tuesday to keep the heat on their city rivals Inter Milan at the top of the table.

The win takes second-placed Milan to 50 points from their 23 games, five points behind leaders Inter. Bologna stay in 10th place with 30 points from 23 games.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring after 20 minutes before Christopher Nkunku added the second from the penalty spot six minutes before the break after he had been fouled by home goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia.

Rabiot was superb and got the goal his performance deserved on 48 minutes when he latched onto a defensive error to make it 3-0 in a dominant display from the visitors that keeps them in the hunt for the title.
