Centre-back shines, striker anonymous – Player ratings for Milan-Parma from Italian papers | OneFootball

AC Milan pulled off what might just have been their biggest and best comeback yet under Sergio Conceicao, scoring twice in added time to beat Parma.

Milan trailed 2-1 going into added time after goals from Cancellieri and Del Prato either side of Christian Pulisic’s penalty, and it looked like the Gialloblu would be doing the league double. However, carnage ensued in added time.

Firstly, Tijjani Reijnders buried a brilliant through pass from Yunus Musah to level it in the 92nd minute. Then, less than three minutes later, Samuel Chukwueze bundled a late winner past Suzuki having come off the bench to spark rapturous scenes.
