AC Milan sent out an ominous warning to their title rivals with a 4-0 thrashing of Chievo at the San Siro on Sunday that moved them into second place in Serie A. Milan trail unbeaten leaders Juventus, who won 1-0 at Lazio on Saturday, by a single point. The champions made short work of Chievo, leading 4-0 at half-time after goals from Brazilians Thiago Silva and Pato and a brace from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said it was too soon to declare the title a two-horse race. “Juve have a match in hand but if Napoli win then they will come back into it,” said Allegri. “Lazio and Udinese are level with us so it’s too early to say. It was important to win and we approached it in the right way after Wednesday’s 3-2 loss to Barcelona.
