Mario Balotelli scored both goals as AC Milan eased to victory over Palermo.
The home side got off to the perfect start when Balotelli won a penalty after he was pulled down by Salvatore Aronica.
The former Manchester City striker, who had scored all eight of his previous penalties in Serie A and the Premier League, converted to give his side an eighth-minute lead.

Cristian Zapata was lucky not to be sent off in the 32nd minute when he cleared Paulo Dybala's long ball with his arm. Zapata was the last man and appeared to have prevented a clear goalscoring chance but the referee only showed him a yellow card.
Balotelli doubled his tally just after the hour mark, tapping in from close range after Palermo goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino spilled M'Baye Niang's cross.
