Leao leads Milan comeback as Fabregas Como surprises Juventus

AC Milan showed their quality to overturn a second-half deficit and beat Fiorentina 2-1 in front of a raucous home crowd.

Robin Gosens gave the visitors the lead just before the hour mark, scoring from close range after a Luca Ranieri knockdown. It was the first real chance of the match for Fiorentina, who had failed to register a single shot in the first half.

Milan, who had dominated possession but struggled to convert pressure into chances, responded almost instantly. Strahinja Pavlovic’s quick run opened up space for Leão, who cut inside and fired a superb low strike beyond David De Gea to equalize.

The Portuguese winger remained at the heart of everything positive for Massimiliano Allegri’s side, and his perseverance was rewarded five minutes from time.

Substitute Santiago Gimenez was dragged into the box by Fabiano Parisi, prompting a VAR review which resulted in a Milan penalty. Leao sent De Gea the wrong way from the point to seal his brace and the points.
