AC Milan supporters would like more stability from their team's results this season but the Rossoneri continue to provide dramatic moments and thrills. Milan appeared set for a disappointing home defeat but a late winner from substitute Samuel Chukwueze completed a miraculous 3-2 comeback victory over Parma their Serie A clash on Sunday.
Visitors Parma opened the scoring in the first half at the San Siro before Milan star Christian Pulisic leveled from the penalty spot before halftime. Enrico Del Prato restored the lead for Parma in the 80th minute and the home supporters prepared themselves for a poor result.
However it was Tijjani Reijnders who leveled with a composed finish in the second minute of stoppage time to jolt the supporters back into life. Milan continued to bring numbers forward and center back Strahinja Pavlovic got his head to a cross to set up Nigeria national team winger Chukwueze who did just enough to bundle the ball into the goal.
It was a triumphant return from injury for Chukwueze who missed the previous six matches for Milan. The 25-year-old now has 2 league goals and 4 in all competitions from 23 appearances. Milan move up to 6th place in the Serie A table and will next look to secure a top-8 finish in the UEFA Champions League league phase when they travel to Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb.
