**David Beckham enjoyed a winning return to the AC Milan side as they outclassed Genoa 5-2 at the San Siro.**Watched by England coach Fabio Capello, Beckham impressed on the right of a three-man attack in his first game since beginning a second loan spell.
After Ronaldinho had an early penalty saved, Genoa went ahead on 25 minutes but Milan were 2-1 up at half-time.
Leonardo’s side ran riot in the second half to keep the gap between them and leaders Inter Milan at eight points.
It could hardly have gone better for 34-year-old Beckham, hoping to prove to Capello that he is worth a place in England’s squad for the World Cup.
It was a trademark sweeping pass from Beckham which led to Milan’s second penalty of the game, allowing Ronaldinho to make up for his earlier weak effort with an emphatic spot-kick to make it 1-1.
Marco Borriello scored a superb double, the first a tap-in after a flowing move and the second an acrobatic volley to put Milan in control at 4-1 in the second half.
All that was missing for Beckham was a goal to cap his return, but he appeared to turn down that opportunity when Milan won their third penalty of the game in the 74th minute.
Ronaldinho, who was in fine form, appeared to offer the ball to Beckham but the England midfielder apparently decided substitute Klass-Jan Huntelaar, who has struggled for confidence since his arrival at the San Siro, should take it.
Huntelaar drove his spot-kick high into the net to complete the scoring for Milan, and a minute later, Beckham came off to a warm reception from the home fans.
