Milan claimed all three points in a tight affair at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, as I Rossoneri ground out a hard-fought 2-1 win over Genoa on Saturday evening.
The hosts took the lead just before half-time, Lasse Schone firing a long-range free kick towards goal which bobbled beyond a sheepish Pepe Reina. Milan boss Marco Giampaolo made a double substitution at half time which paid instant dividends; Theo Hernandez equalising on 52 minutes, and Franck Kessie converting a penalty following a handball by Davide Biraschi.
Biraschi received a red card for his foul play, and Milan full-back Davide Calabria was also shown red soon after to level the match at ten men apiece.
