Two goals from Keisuke Honda helped AC Milan comfortably defeat Verona to move up to fourth position in Serie A.
An own goal from defender Rafael Marques put Milan ahead, before Honda scored his first goal, firing into the net after Stephan El Shaarawy's pass.
Honda made it 3-0 with his sixth league goal of the season when he finished off a quick counter-attacking move.
Nico Lopez's 25-yard strike pulled a goal back for Verona, who ended with 10 men as Rafael Marquez was sent off.
The former Barcelona defender received two bookings, the second coming in injury time following a foul on Giacomo Bonaventura.
Milan are now five points behind leaders Juventus, the 2013-14 champions, but are the top goalscorers in the division with 16 goals from seven matches.
Honda's brace has also taken him level with Juve striker Carlos Tevez in the individual goalscoring charts.
