Milan Turn Jeers to Cheers with Rousing Late Comeback Against Parma


AC Milan: AC Milan turned jeers to cheers on Sunday as two goals in stoppage time gave the seven-time European champions a stunning 3-2 win over Parma in Serie A, APA reports. Trailing to what looked like being Enrico Delprato’s winner for Parma heading into added time, Milan triumphed thanks to strikes from Tijjani Reijnders and Samuel Chukwueze, sending previously frustrated fans delirious with joy.



According to Azeri-Press News Agency, Milan moved up to sixth, five points behind Lazio who sit fourth and host off-form Fiorentina in Sunday’s late match. Nigeria forward Chukwueze’s bundled finish completely changed the atmosphere around the San Siro and gave Sergio Conceicao’s team a huge boost ahead of a massive week.



Milan will travel to Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday, seeking direct qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League before their local derby with Inter Milan next weekend. “I think we showed the right mentality, fighting to the end and the way we changed this game is crazy,” said Netherlands midfielder Reijnders after his 11th goal of the season. “This game was important for us to get back where we belong. Now we have to continue.”
