Ramos inspires Milan past Venezia

Gonçalo Ramos opened the scoring in the 69th minute, and a late own goal from Redouane Halhal sealed the result. Following a 2-1 away success at Torino in their opener, Milan also have six points from six, powered by an energetic attacking unit built around Luka Modrić and Gonçalo Ramos.
