AC Milan secured an important comeback away victory against Lecce in their Serie A encounter.

The Italian side returns to winning ways following their loss against Lazio last weekend after going one man down.

Although they had to fight hard to get the win. They needed a second-half comeback to seal a narrow 3-2 victory against Lecce.

As it happened

AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze was left on the bench despite coming in to score for his team in their 2-1 loss to Lazio last weekend.

The visitors conceded an early goal in the first half from a Nikola Krstovic strike and piled in more pressure, scoring the second goal entering into the second half.

However, AC Milan fought back with three goals in the second half; the first goal came as an own goal and the second and winning goal was scored by Christian Pulisic.

Super Eagles star Chukwueze was an unused substitute in the game despite his performance last weekend.

The victory brings AC Milan back to winning ways, but still in eighth position and out of the European spot in the league.
