Antonio Nocerino became the second AC Milan midfielder to score a hat-trick in as many matches against Parma this evening.

The 26-year-old struck in the 30th, 32nd and 90th minute to mirror the contribution that Kevin-Prince Boateng made on Sunday morning for the Rossoneri.

Also on the scoresheet for the Red and Blacks was Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who slotted home from close range with 17 minutes remaining.

Former Juventus winger Sebastian Giovinco stole in to score a consolation for visiting Parma after 78 minutes.

Milan are now fifth in the table, two points behind current leaders Juventus.
