2018/2019 Italian Serie A

MILAN, Oct 28 (Reuters) - AC Milan lifted the pressure on beleaguered coach Gennaro Gattuso when a second-half strike by Suso gave them a 3-2 win over Sampdoria in a see-saw Serie A match on Sunday.

The fiery former midfielder had reportedly been given two matches to save his job after successive defeats by Inter Milan in the league and Real Betis in the Europa League last week.

Gattuso had said he wanted a team of "angry dogs" on the pitch and Milan responded by taking a 17th minute lead when Patrick Cutrone headed in Suso's cross unmarked at the far post.
