AC Milan secured a 2-1 win over Genoa in the Serie A to keep their Scudetto hopes alive and boosted their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.
Rafael Leao started up front in place for Zlatan Ibrahimovic ruled out through suspension.
Milan started the stronger of the two teams and took the lead after just 14 minutes when Ante Rebic broke the deadlock with a powerful finish from just inside the box after a Theo Hernandez freekick had been blocked.
However, Genoa got themselves back on terms after 37 minutes when Mattia Destro lost his marker inside the penalty box to head home a corner kick, once again exposing AC Milan’s defensive frailties at home.
Mario Mandzukic, Brahim Diaz and Diogo Dalot were all introduced after an hour as AC Milan searched for a goal to give them the lead again, but the decisive moment came through an own goal from Gianluca Scamacca who turned his back on a corner kick.
The result sees AC Milan close the gap on Inter at the top of Serie A to eight points with Antonio Conte’s side up against Napoli later on Sunday evening.
