Gallery: ‘A different side in the league’, ‘Into fourth place’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

By: Oliver Fisher

AC Milan recorded a much-needed win before the second international break of the season as they beat Genoa 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Alphadjo Cisse scored his eighth goal of the season and Christian Pulisic fired in not long after to put Milan two goals up inside 20 minutes, and in the end that would be enough. Ellertsson’s late strike from range did make it a nervy finish, though Ruben Amorim’s side held on.

With Como losing against Inter later in the day, it means the Rossoneri go into the November break inside the top four. After the international action, the quest continues to find the consistency that has evaded them so far.

Below is how the newspapers in Italy look this morning, with each of the major ones commenting on the win at the Marassi.

La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan climb even higher. They’re a different side in the league, while Genoa hand them gifts and end up losing. Cissé and Pulisic score: the Rossoneri move into fourth place.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Amorim in fourth. Rabiot furious. Cissé and Pulisic erase the European flop. Adrien protests to Massa and hits back at Calvarese. Milan beat Genoa 2-1.”

Tuttosport: “Milan in the Champions League places despite a nervy finish. Cissé and Pulisic score, but the team face a scare late on. Genoa nearly pull off a stunning comeback, yet the league table now looks favourable for Amorim: ‘I want the panic that comes with defeat’.”

QS: “Milan win at the Marassi and are in the Champions League places.”
