Gattuso: Piatek 'lives to score goals'

Gennaro Gattuso commended Krzysztof Piatek's hunger for goals following the AC Milan striker's game-changing brace in the valuable 3-1 Serie A victory over Atalanta.

Poland international Piatek notched his fifth and sixth goals since joining from Genoa in January to inspire a come-from-behind away win that sent Milan four points clear in fourth.

The 23-year-old cancelled out Remo Freuler's opener with a terrific finish from Ricardo Rodriguez's cross in first-half stoppage time and, following Hakan Calhanoglu's unstoppable strike, wrapped up the result by heading in a corner on Saturday.
