Impressive records matched as Andre Silva wins it late for AC Milan at Genoa
Andre Silva scored his first Serie A goal in the final seconds of the game as AC Milan earned a dramatic last-gasp 1-0 win at Genoa.
The Portugal striker arrived at San Siro from Porto among much fanfare in the close-season, but he had failed to score in 16 previous top-flight matches for the Rossoneri in a difficult domestic campaign.
However, Silva was the hero for Gennaro Gattuso’s men at the Luigi Ferraris when he leaped to head in Suso’s 94th-minute cross and settle what had been an attritional contest.
– AC Milan have won four Serie A games in a row without conceding a goal for the first time since March 2013.
– Milan are unbeaten in nine league games in a row for the first time since February 2016.
– Andre Silva scored his first goal in Serie A, the last one in a European league was back in May 2017 for Porto.
– Milan have conceded three goals in 2018 in Serie A, only Juventus (zero) have done better between team in Top-5 European Leagues in the same period.
A three-point return also sees Gattuso’s men close to within six points of the Champions League qualification places, having made it nine league matches without defeat.
