Milan regained their smiles with a solid 3-0 win at Luigi Ferraris against Genoa and came within a point of leaders Napoli, who tied in their visit to Sassuolo (2-2).

Messias debuts title with a double
Milan’s goals were the work of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with a great free-kick in the 10th minute, and a double by Brazilian Junior Messias, the great protagonist also of the 0-1 victory achieved last week in the Champions League against Atlético Madrid.
Ibra scored his sixth goal in Serie A, while Junior Messias, in his first starting game since he arrived at Milan in the summer on loan from Crotone, achieved the 0-2 header in the first half discount and sentenced with a nice shot close to the post.
