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, Reuters reported.

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, according to Reuters.
