Milan clinch win with two quick-fire goals in rainy Genoa clash

AC Milan secured a 2-1 victory over Genoa in a rainy Monday Serie A clash, with a rapid second-half turnaround driven by Rafael Leao's equaliser and an own goal from Morten Frendrup.

The result keep Milan at ninth place with 57 points, six points behind Juventus in fourth with three rounds remaining.

Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was the stand-out performer in a first half largely dominated by Genoa, making several crucial saves to keep his side level at the break.

The second half started in a largely uninspired fashion, with the relentless downpour proving more consistent than the football, as play was frequently halted for injury treatments.

Vitinha, introduced only a minute earlier, made an instant impact in the 61st minute, drifting into space inside the box and smashing home a perfectly delivered cross with his first touch to put Genoa in front.

Leao equalised for Milan in the 76th minute with a deflected shot from a Santiago Gimenez cross, and less than two minutes later, Genoa's Frendrup scored an own goal while attempting to clear a cross, handing Milan all three points.
