It was the Rossoneri’s first away win in three months.
Giroud doubled Milan’s lead from the penalty spot in the first half following Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s finish with the inside of his foot after a cutback from the left by Rafael Leao.
Teenager Chaka Traorè sealed the win late after a powerful run from Christian Pulisic down almost the entire length of the field.
Third-place Milan moved nine points below city rival Inter.
