Turkish delight for Milan.

Hakan Calhanoglu kicked off Milan's Europa League campaign in style Thursday with a strike many of the best goalkeepers in the world would have struggled to stop, let alone Austria Wien's Osman Hadzikic.

After laying the ball off for Nikola Kalinic, Calhanoglu was wide open in the penalty area when his teammate rolled the ball back into his path, and the Turkish international launched the ball into the top corner.

Calhanoglu played a part in Milan's next two goals by delivering two perfect passes to set up both of Andre Silva's tallies.
