ITALY striker Stephan El Shaarawy marked his 20th birthday by scoring the late goal which gave struggling AC Milan a 1-0 win over Genoa on Saturday, although the pressure on embattled coach Massimiliano Allegri is unlikely to ease.
Yesterday, Serie A leader Juventus enjoyed a huge letoff on its way to a 1-0 victory at Catania after the Sicilians appeared to have a legitimate goal wrongly disallowed. Midfielder Arturo Vidal scored the winner in the second half but, to add to the controversy, Juventus striker Nicklas Bendtner appeared to be fractionally offside when he had a shot saved in the move leading to the goal.
To add to its woes, Catania finished with 10 men after Giovanni Marchese was sent off for two bookable offenses including a very harsh first yellow.
The win left Juventus with 25 points and extended its unbeaten Serie A record to 48 games.
A day earlier, Allegri kept faith with the 3-4-3 experiment he launched ahead of the 0-1 defeat to Malaga in the Champions League in midweek.
And after a frustrating 70 minutes, in which Alexandre Pato and second-half substitute Giampaolo Pazzini failed to fire, a controversial goal settled the match when El Shaarawy tapped home Ignazio Abate's low drive from an offside position in the 77th minute.
