Cutrone double helps Milan extend streak
Gennaro Gattuso saw AC Milan extend its unbeaten run in all competitions to eight games with an impressive victory over SPAL.
Patrick Cutrone scored twice as AC Milan continued its resurgence under Gennaro Gattuso with a 4-0 win away at relegation-threatened SPAL.
Starting ahead of Andre Silva with Nikola Kalinic sidelined, Cutrone volleyed home from close range to give the Rossoneri a second-minute lead in a Serie A clash between teams in contrasting form.
Milan survived the odd scare in the remainder of the first half but was comfortably the better side after the break, the young striker rewarding its dominance by poaching his second of the game just after the hour mark.
Lucas Biglia produced a precise finish from outside the area to score his first Milan goal and the three points were wrapped up by substitute Fabio Borini in the last minute, with the victory extending the visitors' unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions.
Gattuso will hope his side can extend its impressive streak when its hosts Sampdoria next week, though it will be without Franck Kessie for that game after the midfielder's first-half booking on Sunday (AEDT) triggered a one-match ban.
SPAL, in contrast, remains stuck in the relegation places as its wait for a league win in 2018 continues.
