Bologna 2-4 Milan: Ibrahimovic scored at both ends as AC Milan go top

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored at both ends as AC Milan beat nine-man Bologna in a thriller to go top of Serie A.

Rafael Leao notched the opener from Ibrahimovic's ball - and Bologna had Adama Soumaoro sent off - before Davide Calabria drove home Milan's second.

Ibrahimovic headed a corner into his own net, then Musa Barrow levelled.

Roberto Soriano was sent off for a dangerous foul and Bologna almost held out before Ismael Bennacer and Ibrahimovic scored from 20 yards.

However, two goals inside the first seven minutes of the second half saw Bologna draw level. First, Ibrahimovic turned a corner into his own net and then three minutes later, Musa Barrow finished excellently after being put through by Soriano.

In the 58th minute, though, Soriano was shown a straight red after a dangerous tackle on Fodo Ballo-Toure, so Bologna had to play the final 32 minutes of regular time with nine men.

That allowed Milan to keep growing and, with six minutes to go, Bennacer gave the Rossoneri the lead once again. Then, Ibrahimovic made sure of the victory with a goal in the 90th minute.

This result means that Milan go to the summit in the Italian top flight, but Napoli will have the chance to retake top spot when they take on Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.
