Montella: Heavy AC Milan defeat 'just a bump in the road'

Vincenzo Montella dismissed AC Milan's comprehensive 3-0 defeat to Genoa as just a "bump in the road" for his young side and insists his men are calm.

A victory for Milan would have seen it go top of Serie A for at least 24 hours before Juventus hosts Sampdoria on Wednesday, but a Nikola Ninkovic header saw Milan trail at the break at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

The away side saw Gabriel Paletta given a straight red card for a two-footed lunge early in the second half, before a late own goal from Juraj Kucka and a fine Leonardo Pavoletti strike sealed the three points for Genoa.
