Tijjani Reijnders made sure AC Milan got their Champions League campaign up and running with a decisive brace in Tuesday's 3-1 win over 10-man Club Brugge at the San Siro.

Netherlands midfielder Reijnders stroked home two fine finishes in the 61st and 71st minutes to give Milan their first points in this year's revamped competition.

Before Reijnders struck Milan had struggled to deal with Brugge, who had levelled Christian Pulisic's opening goal -- netted straight from a 34th-minute corner -- through Kyriani Sabbe six minutes after the break.

At that point Brugge, who are also on three points, were down to 10 men as Raphael Onyedika was shown a straight red card in the 40th minute for accidentally stamping on Reijnders' ankle.
