After consecutive losses saw AC Milan fall out of the top four in Serie A, the Rossoneri get back to winning ways, beating Benevento 2-0. Hakan Calhanoglu opens the scoring early in the first half, and Theo Hernandez puts the match away on a rebound after a miss by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The win moves Milan into second place, one point ahead of Atalanta and three points beyond Napoli and Juventus, but all three of those clubs play Sunday with a chance to knock Milan back into fifth. Benevento, managed by Milan legend and former coach Pippo Inzaghi, had avoided the relegation zone for most of its second-ever season in the top flight, but six matches without a win since beating Juve sees the Witches now stuck in 18th place and at serious risk of a return to Serie B.
