Rino Gattuso admits AC Milan weren't at their best for last night's 1-0 victory over Reggina.

"We always make it difficult for ourselves," said midfielder Gattuso. "We should be able to close games down, but we always suffer until the end.

"However, it's an important three points. We must fight for fourth place and this victory helps us.

"There was a 20 minute blackout, where we suffered a lot. But we managed to hang on."
