VIDEO: Philippe Mexes pulls goal back for AC Milan with 25-yard strike

Philippe Mexes is just trying to put a smile on the faces at the San Siro.
In a match where supporters of AC Milan protested their club's sad state of affairs with a human banner that spelled out "Enough," Mexes pulled a goal back for his side in the 66th minute after Genoa went up 2-0 before the hour mark.
A sure sign that a club is struggling is when their only goal comes courtesy of a 33-year-old centre-back from 25 yards out.
Perhaps Mexes' desire to remain at Milan is what fueled the unlikely strike.
Mexes! Outside the box. Off the bottom of the bar. Milan's highest paid player back playing for a new contract....
