Higuain dedicates winning goal to Gattuso as Milan beat SPAL

Gonzalo Higuain dedicated his winner for AC Milan against SPAL to Gennaro Gattuso after the striker ended his goal drought in a 2-1 victory.

Higuain had gone nine games without a goal going into Saturday's contest at San Siro, and rarely looked like breaking his duck in a largely unconvincing display.

However, he struck the decisive blow from close range in the 64th minute as Milan, who saw Suso sent off late on, ended a run of five games without a win by coming from a goal down, Samu Castillejo having initially cancelled out Andrea Petagna's opener.
