Milan Recover To Beat Hellas Verona in Thrilling 3-2 Comeback Win

Milan fought back from 2-0 down to beat Hellas Verona 3-2 on Saturday and claim top spot in the Serie A table.

Unbeaten in their opening seven league games of the season, the Rossoneri were 2-0 down at the break against a side previously without an away win against them in 29 attempts.

Gianluca Caprari and a penalty from Antonin Barak had Verona heading for an unlikely three points before the home side produced a second-half turnaround.

After Olivier Giroud had headed home a third goal in three league games, Franck Kessie equalised from the penalty spot before Koray Gunter’s own goal settled a gripping contest.

Stefano Pioli introduced veteran striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic off the bench, and the Swede may well have had a tap-in had Gunter not scuffed an attempted clearance beneath the legs of goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo to give Milan the lead.

The victory will serve as a huge confidence boost as Milan travel to the Dragao to face Porto in a Tuesday Champions League tie.
