The hosts were rewarded for a dominant opening with a wonderful solo goal from Alejandro Gomez and ex-Rossoneri midfielder Mario Pasalic doubled the lead shortly after the hour.
Ilicic drilled home in the 63rd minute and soon had a second with an exquisite effort as Atalanta — who completed the thrashing through substitute Luis Muriel — were rewarded for a display full of enterprise and invention with a result that sees them head into Serie A’s mid-season break in fifth.
Tenth-placed Milan, who were unbeaten in four prior to the game, and coach Stefano Pioli will need to do some soul-searching over the next fortnight after a woeful away performance.
It was their heaviest defeat since losing by the same scoreline to Roma in 1998.
