Milan 2-1 Roma: Destro lifts San Siro gloom

Mattia Destro struck the decisive goal against his parent club as Milan beat Roma 2-1 in Serie A.

Mattia Destro ended Milan's dismal run of form with the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over his parent club Roma at San Siro. 

After five games without a win the fallen giants have found themselves marooned in mid-table, leading to fan protests and speculation over head coach Filippo Inzaghi's future, but the gloom was lifted on Saturday.

Marco van Ginkel netted for the first time in over two years late in the first half to give Milan the lead at the break, with the home side slightly edging a competitive opening 45 minutes.
