AC Milan returned to winning ways after two straight defeats, with Junior Messias hitting a brace in a 3-0 win over Genoa in Serie A on Wednesday.
The Brazilian scored a looping header in first half stoppage time before adding to his tally with a wonderful effort inside the box to move Milan back into second place.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic had given the Rossoneri an early lead with a magnificent curling freekick as Milan were in complete control at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Player of the match: Junior Messias
After making such a memorable impact in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid last week, Messias was at it again with a well-taken brace to kill off any hopes of a Genoa fightback. A deft header was followed up by a bending effort that Grifone coach Andriy Shevchenko would have been proud of in his Milan pomp.
