Gennaro Gattuso will be happy with the result if perhaps not as enthused with his side's more lax showing after the break – but for him, cutting the gap to those Champions League places was the objective. On that basis, he's taken another giant step, and will now hope for results to fall favourably for him.
It's Hakan Calhanoglu's first-half header off a Suso strike that proves to be enough for AC Milan in Florence as they take the three points at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. A greater second-half showing from the hosts wasn't enough to undo the damage despite their best efforts, meaning their wait for a win goes on – and their visitors edge closer to the top four.
