MILAN -- Suso was again the architect of AC Milans goals as his side beat Empoli 4-1 and moved into second spot in Serie A on Saturday.Much of the talk this season has been about the coming of age of Milans young team, but it is the Rossoneris forgotten man who has been taking center stage.Suso scored both of Milans goals in a 2-2 draw against Inter Milan last Sunday, the day after his 23rd birthday, and he added two assists and a goal against Empoli.It is a far cry from last season, when the Spanish midfielder spent the second half of the league at Genoa after making just one appearance for Milan.Gianluca Lapadula is also flourishing under Milan coach Vincenzo Montella and he netted his first brace in Serie A.Lapadula, who was called up to the Italy squad this month, was playing in the third division two seasons ago. He joined Pescara in July 2015 and helped it win promotion to Serie A with 27 goals. He signed for Milan in June.I work every day to improve ... I only want to show that I can do well then its up to the coach to choose, Lapadula said.I have never set myself a target of goals. Ive always vowed to go on the pitch with a lot of determination and through that score goals. Last year was my first real season as an out-and-out striker and I beat my record of goals.Lapadula scored Milans opener in the 15th minute, volleying Susos cross into the bottom left corner after Juraj Kucka stole the ball off Empoli midfielder Assane Diousse.Empoli was back on level terms almost immediately following a rare mistake from teenage Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who came for Guido Marilungos cross but succeeded only in pushing it straight at Riccardo Saponara, who scored against his old team.It was Empolis first goal at home in 501 minutes.Milan took control just after the hour mark as Suso netted his fourth goal in three matches. Minutes later Empoli defender Andrea Costa turned into his own net after a brilliant run from Giacomo Bonaventura.Suso set up the fourth for Lapadula, who cut inside and curled into the bottom left corner.The Rossoneri moved four points behind Juventus, which visits Genoa on Sunday. Roma can move back level with Milan with a win at home to relegation-threatened Pescara.Milan forward Carlos Bacca was sidelined for the match against Empoli and took the opportunity to return to Spain to watch former team Sevilla host Valencia, fuelling speculation he will leave Italy in the January transfer window.TORINO 2 CHIEVO VERONA 1Iago Falque netted twice in three first-half minutes as Torino moved level on points with fourth-place Lazio and Atalanta, which visit Palermo and Bologna respectively on Sunday.Italy forward Andrea Belotti scored two in both of his past two matches for Torino, but this time it was his teammate who stole the headlines.Falque netted his first in the 35th minute, sprinting to the back post to head in Antonio Barrecas cross from the left. The midfielder doubled his tally with a delightful curled effort into the top left corner for his sixth goal in the last five home games.Falque was given a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 69th.Roberto Inglese headed in a corner five minutes from time, moments after a good save from Torino goalkeeper Joe Hart.But any hope Chievo had of snatching a point evaporated minutes later when Fabrizio Cacciatore -- who was still unhappy after being denied a penalty -- was shown a straight red card for dissent.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- No matter what the plan is for Julius Peppers this season, the expectations arent changing for the oldest player on the Green Bay Packers roster.Its not like were going to put him out to pasture or sit him over on the bench a whole lot, general manager Ted Thompson said Wednesday.Peppers is beginning his 15th NFL season; whether this will be the final one for the 36-year-old defensive stalwart isnt known.Of more immediate attention, as the Packers prepare to play their first preseason game Friday night against the Cleveland Browns, is just what role Peppers will have when the season starts in a month.Peppers is listed as a starter on the depth chart this week. But another former first-round draft pick, Nick Perry, not Peppers, has been taking most of the reps at the outside linebacker spot opposite Clay Matthews in Green Bays base defense early in training camp.Defensive coordinator Dom Capers said reining in Peppers has been by design.I think we know what Julius is capable of, so youll probably see limited reps of Julius with where he is, Capers said. Youve seen that through training camp thus far, so its enabled Nick to get a lot of reps. We have a number of guys there that we need to see and take a good look at.While Perry is relishing the extra work as he looks to put an injury-marred first four pro seasons behind him, Peppers isnt saying much about the apparent role reversal. In fact, he hasnt spoken to reporters in the locker room since the first couple of days of camp, which opened July 26.Peppers declined to talk as he walked out of the locker room after practice Wednesday.As long as he can stay healthy, which hes been since the teams offseason program in the spring for the first time in his career, Perry is expected to have a bigger role in Green Bays defense this season.Hes a physical guy, very good player against the run, and he can use that physicality and size, and hes got a couple pass-rush moves that hes very good at, Capers said.Perry has yet to play aa full season, but the Packers saw enough production at the end of last season to re-sign him to a one-year contract.ddddddddddddhis is home for me, said Perry, who led Green Bay with 3 + sacks in its two playoff games. For those guys to believe in me and know that Ive got more to give, it just puts everything in perspective on whats to come. Theres unfinished business here, and were just trying to get to that.As for Peppers, the Packers are hopeful he will remain as productive as ever, even if his role is diminished.Hes a marvelous player and a very gifted, athletic specimen, the likes of which I dont know that Ive ever seen, Thompson said.Peppers had a team-high 10 + sacks last season, moving him to No. 9 on the NFLs all-time sacks list with 136. He also was selected to the Pro Bowl for the ninth time.Thompson wouldnt say whether the team will try to maximize Peppers production in the final year of a three-year, $26 million contract by reducing his workload.I think certainly you can make that argument that that would be a logical conclusion, Thompson said. I dont know. I think it just kind of depends. I think you pick your spots and you use players that are extraordinary, which Julius is, in a certain way.Game notes Matthews (ankle) and WR Randall Cobb (calf) were held out of the Packers final open practice before Fridays game. Among those still sidelined were QB Brett Hundley (ankle), LB Jake Ryan (hamstring) and C JC Tretter (illness). . Long snapper Jesse Schmitt watched practice with a cast on his broken right hand. Schmitt suffered the injury while making a block on his first snap in a punt drill in his first practice with the team Tuesday night. The Packers signed Schmitt, an undrafted rookie from Purdue, to compete with incumbent Rick Lovato. Schmitt didnt know if surgery would be needed.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
