Footballer David Beckham began his second loan spell with AC Milan in style as the rossoneri came from behind to beat Genoa 5-2 to stay second in the Serie A.
Beckham, who scored in the same fixture last season after being loaned out from LA Galaxy, earned a starting place with fellow midfield veteran Clarence Seedorf out through injury.
The three points takes AC Milan onto 34 points from 17 games - eight behind reigning champions Inter, who returned from their winter break with a 1-nil win over Chievo to maintain their eight-point lead - though Beckham and company have a game in hand.
Juventus are third, a point behind AC Milan having played a game more, after winning 2-1 at Parma.
Napoli lie fourth on 30 points after a 2-nil victory over Atalanta while Roma will be kicking themselves after letting a 2-nil lead slip away at Cagliari with the home side scoring twice in time added on to force a 2-2 draw.
Roma are fifth on 29 points.
