SULLEY Muntari scored on his AC Milan debut in a 3-1 victory at struggling Cesena on Sunday, taking his new team to the top of Serie A.
Muntari opened the scoring in the 29th minute and Urby Emanuelson doubled Milan's lead two minutes later.
Robinho added a third 10 minutes into the second half. Daniel Pudil grabbed a consolation for Cesena, which remains seven points adrift of safety after Siena lost 1-4 to Lecce in a relegation battle.
Milan is a point above Juventus, which has a game in hand. The two teams meet in a mouthwatering clash next weekend.
"Up until 3-0 today the boys played a great game," Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said. "Then we gave Cesena too much initiative and we sat back too much. We didn't push forward any more. I hope we have everyone available for Juventus but whoever plays will do well in any case. Now we have a week to prepare for that test, it will certainly be a fascinating game."
Elsewhere, Roma captain Francesco Totti played his 700th game for the club to help it edge out Parma 1-0, with Fabio Borini scoring the only goal. Lazio was routed 5-1 at Palermo.
Totti was presented with a special plaque before kickoff to commemorate his achievement.
