AC Milan 2-0 Genoa: Rafael Leao and Junior Messias goals see Milan return to top of Serie A

Rafael Leao and Junior Messias were on target as AC Milan got back to winning ways to reclaim their place at the top of Serie A with an unconvincing triumph over struggling Genoa. Having failed to score in back-to-back games, Milan ended their goal drought after just 11 minutes to ease the early tension at San Siro.

Pierre Kalulu's cross beautifully picked out the run of Leao whose first-time side-footed finish nestled in the back of the net. Ad/> Despite such a bright opening, the hosts failed to build on their first-half lead and although they looked in complete control, Genoa midfielder Pablo Galdames gave them an almighty scare when he went close on the stroke of half-time.
