AC Milan secured a thrilling 3-2 comeback win against Parma at the San Siro, with two stoppage-time goals from Tijjani Reijnders and Samuel Chukwueze completing a dramatic turnaround.
Parma took the lead in the 24th minute through Matteo Cancellieri, who capitalized on a defensive error from Theo Hernandez to curl in a superb finish. Milan responded with a penalty from Christian Pulisic, but Enrico Del Prato restored Parma’s lead with just 10 minutes remaining.
Just as it seemed Milan were heading for a disappointing defeat, Reijnders and Chukwueze struck in stoppage time to snatch an unlikely victory. Reijnders calmly slotted home after beating the offside trap, before Chukwueze’s fortuitous goal sealed the win for the Rossoneri.
This dramatic victory will be a huge boost for Milan, who move up to sixth in the Serie A table. They showed resilience and determination to fight back from a goal down in the dying moments, with Reijnders and Chukwueze proving to be the heroes.
Parma, who remain just above the relegation zone, will be left to rue their missed opportunity to secure a valuable point. They defended resolutely for much of the match and created several chances, but were ultimately undone by Milan’s late surge.
New signing Kyle Walker, who joined Milan on loan from Manchester City last week, watched the game from the stands. The England international will be hoping to make his debut for the club in their next match.
Pulisic’s penalty was his sixth goal of the season for Milan. The American winger has been a key player for the Rossoneri this season, and his contribution proved crucial in their comeback victory.
Milan’s dramatic win highlights their fighting spirit and their ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. They will be looking to build on this result and continue their push for a top-four finish.
