Milan wins in Genoa and flies to the top of the table

Milan wins 1-0 at Genoa and flies to the top of the Serie A standings, taking advantage of Inter's misstep against Bologna.

The game is balanced and hard-fought throughout the first half, with few goal-scoring opportunities. The Rossoneri try to make themselves seen with Okafor and Reijnders, but Genoa defends well and doesn't concede anything.

In the second half, Milan stepped up their game and scored the winning goal in the 87th minute through Pulisic, who controlled the ball in the box and turned with his left foot to follow up on a Musah cross. The goal was contested by Genoa for an alleged handball by Pulisic, but the referee dismissed the matter.

In the final minutes, Genoa poured forward in search of an equaliser, but Milan defended with order and saved the result. Maignan was sent off for an outbound challenge on Ekuban, but Giroud replaced him and saved the result twice on Puscas. Gudmunsson then hit the crossbar after a deflection.

With this victory, Milan climbs to 21 points in the standings, one point ahead of Inter.
