Milan, fresh from progressing to the Coppa Italia final with a 3-0 semi-final second-leg win over Inter, raced into a fifth-minute lead as Pulisic capitalised on some sloppy play at the back from Venezia.

Venezia dominated the rest of the first half, creating plenty of chances but failing to find an equaliser.

It was finished off in second-half stoppage time as Gimenez met Tijjani Reijnders's free-kick with a composed finish.

Milan sits ninth in the standings on 54 points, three points adrift of the top seven, though the teams around it all played later in the day.

Venezia, meanwhile, is second from bottom on 25 points, one point off 17th-placed Lecce, which is just outside the relegation zone before facing Atalanta.
