They beat Bologna 2-1 at the San Siro.

But there was controvesry as cameras clearly picked up Gattuso yelling at teenage keeper Gigio Donnarumma after he hesitated in starting up an attack.

Gattuso shouted: "If you do not do what I tell you, I will destroy you in the week."

The fiery ex-Italy midfielder has previously admitted he does not like losing to his son at toy games - let alone ones in Serie A.

"We still have to improve, especially on the defensive aspect, because Bologna have put us in trouble on more than one occasion.

"But I have to thank the guys for the victory, for the mentality and the sacrifice they made on the field. I keep the performance and the result, but we must remember the road is still long."

Donnarumma, 18, by the way, is 6ft 5ins and is tipped to become the next Gianluigi Buffon. He has a buy-out clause of £88million.

But he couldn't escape the wrath of Gattuso.

Milan ended a run of three Serie A games without a win to scrape past Bologna.
