Hat-trick hero Domenico Berardi wants to face AC Milan every week

Sassuolo hitman Domenico Berardi has joked that he would like to face AC Milan every week after maintaining his free-scoring form against them with a hat-trick in this afternoon's 3-2 win.

The 20-year-old now has seven goals in his last three meetings with the Rossoneri, having scored all four in a 4-3 win at the Mapei Stadium last season.

"Facing Milan brings me luck, as every time I play against them I seem to score!" Berardi told Sky Sport Italia.

"If we always played against Milan, it'd be great! This is an important season and every week I worked to improve even more."

Two goals inside half an hour put the hosts 2-0 up, before Giacomo Bonaventura reduced the arrears for Milan before the break.

Alex was on hand to equalise early in the second half, but Berardi struck again on 78 minutes - after Bonaventura was sent off for a second yellow card - to snatch the points.

Any hopes of a comeback were dashed late on when Suso was also red carded for Filippo Inzaghi's side.
