AC Milan beats Genoa 2-1
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 02 - 2016

Keisuke Honda scored one goal and helped set up another as AC Milan extended its unbeaten streak to seven matches with a 2-1 win over Genoa in Serie A Sunday.

Milan moved within two points of fifth-place Inter Milan.

It's the first time Milan has gone seven matches unbeaten since April 2013.
A cross from Honda led to Carlos Bacca's opener five minutes in at the San Siro. The Japan international then scored midway through the second half with a long, bouncing shot from 25 meters that appeared to surprise goalkeeper Mattia Perin.

Alessio Cerci pulled one back for Genoa in added time.

Also Sunday, Torino won 3-1 at Palermo as Ciro Immobile scored twice; Bologna won 1-0 at Udinese with a late goal from Mattia Destro; and Sampdoria and Atalanta drew 0-0.

On Saturday, four-time defending champion Juventus beat Napoli 1-0 to move one point ahead of the southern club atop the standings.
Neville tastes victory

Valencia handed coach Gary Neville his first La Liga win when they beat Espanyol 2-1 Saturday while Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in a thrilling 4-2 home victory for Real Madrid over Athletic Bilbao.

Host Valencia fought its way back from Oscar Duarte's opening goal for fourth from bottom Espanyol with strikes from Alvaro Negredo and Denis Cheryshev in the final 19 minutes.

Valencia is 11th with 28 points. Espanyol remains one place and one point above the relegation zone with the Romanian's job hanging by a thread.
Villarreal consolidated its hold on fourth place with a 1-0 home win over Malaga. It is 11 points ahead of Sevilla and 13 in front of sixth-placed Bilbao. Deportivo La Coruna drew 2-2 at home to Real Betis.

Lille holds PSG to 0-0

Runaway leader Paris Saint-Germain warmed up for its Champions League encounter with Chelsea by dropping points for only the fourth time in the French league this season, held 0-0 in a scrappy home draw by Lille Saturday.

PSG host Chelsea in the first leg of their last 16 match Tuesday.
PSG, which had won 16 straight games in all competitions heading into the match, last failed to win a league game on Dec. 1 — drawing 0-0 to Angers away.

Elsewhere, Nantes moved provisionally up to fourth place with a 2-1 home win against Lorient.

Bordeaux scores goals as easily as it concedes them. Following a 4-3 midweek defeat to Nantes in the French Cup, Bordeaux bounced back with a 4-2 win away to Guingamp. Also Saturday, last-place Troyes won 3-2 at Gazelec Ajaccio; Montpellier beat struggling Toulouse 2-0 to move away from the relegation zone; and Bastia won 1-0 away to Reims, which slumped to 17th place.


Dortmund trims Bayern lead

Henrikh Mkhitaryan's second-half goal sealed Borussia Dortmund's workmanlike 1-0 win over Hanover 96 Saturday to trim Bayern Munich's lead at the top of the Bundesliga to five points.

Dortmund was without injured star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who missed his first league match of the season after netting 20 goals in as many Bundesliga games.

In his absence, Mkhitaryan displayed superb individual skill to score the winner at Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park.

With Marcel Schmelzer screaming up in support on his left, Mkhitaryan cut back inside and curled his right-footed shot around Hanover's Germany goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler on 57 minutes. — Agencies
