Theo Hernandez struck twice as Milan recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Parma and keep their unbeaten start to the Serie A season intact.
The hosts looked to be heading for a first defeat in 23 league outings and a first in 11 games this term after Hernani and Jasmin Kurtic had put Parma in control.
But Milan showed exactly why they are top thanks to a couple of goals from Hernandez the equaliser in the 91st minute as they dug deep in Sunday s clash at San Siro.
The point was the least Stefano Pioli s men deserved, having hit the frame of the goal four times Hakan Calhanoglu responsible for three of those and had a strike disallowed between the visitors two goals.

Liverpool are preparing a new deal for forward Divock Origi, according to the Telegraph.
The Merseyside outfit are keen to keep hold of the twenty-four-year-old, who played a huge part in helping his side clinch the Champions League trophy last term.
He has just one year remaining on his current contract meaning he could leave on a free transfer next summer, though manager Jurgen Klopp is determined to secure his services.
Since signing from Lille in the summer of 2014, Origi has racked up almost a hundred appearances in all competitions, though he did spend the 2017/18 campaign on loan at Wolfsburg.
He has been capped twenty-five times for his country, scoring three goals the first of those coming at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil, against R…
Yaya Toure said putting Manchester United in Manchester City s shadow is his greatest achievement as he prepares to farewell the Premier League champions.
Ivory Coast international midfielder Toure, 34, has two more matches before he calls time on his illustrious City career, having won three Premier League titles since arriving from Barcelona in 2010.
City have celebrated three Premier League championships after Toure swapped Barcelona for Manchester, while United have won two in that period – though the Red Devils have not tasted silverware since Alex Ferguson s final campaign in 2012-13.
Asked if overhauling United was his biggest achievement as a City player, Toure – who wants to remain in England next season – replied: To be honest, yes, that s true.
Vincent Kompany will revive a much-loved football tradition when he leaves Manchester City to become player-manager at his boyhood club Anderlecht.
In the era of head coaches and sporting directors, it is rare to find an individual juggling the rigours of playing at the top level while taking charge of a club, but history offers plenty of successful examples for the Belgium international to follow.
Kompany said he has been promised the time, budget, framework and staff support as he aims to revive a once great club, and Anderlecht s supporters will hope he can maintain the form on the field that saw him play a key role in City s historic treble-winning season.
While City fans wish their heroic captain a fond farewell, we look back at five instances where player-…
Diego Maradona would return to coach Argentina for free after being left hurt by their World Cup elimination.
The 57-year-old great was in the stands as Jorge Sampaoli s side slipped to a 4-3 defeat against France in the round of 16 and said his energetic demeanour at the game did not reflect his feelings about the outcome of the match.
Argentina reached the World Cup quarter-finals in 2010 with Maradona at the helm and he expressed his desire to take the job again in an appearance on Venezuelan TV network Telesur.
Yes and I would do it for free, I would not ask for anything in return, said Maradona.
When asked about his depiction in the media, he added: They think I m happy but my heart hurts.
I wish God gave me the strength to return to the fi…
RB Leipzig guaranteed their place in the top four and at least a spot in the Champions League qualifiers with a 4-0 win over Freiburg at Red Bull Arena.
The result extended Leipzig s run of consecutive victories to four and they have now won their last three home games without conceding a goal, ensuring league leaders Bayern Munich haven t been able to sit comfortably in the closing stages of the season.
Sixth-placed Freiburg, who went into the game on the back of two straight wins, resisted Leipzig s early pressure and Caglar Soyuncu made a superb tackle to deny Naby Keita as the midfielder sprinted into the box after 34 minutes.
Two minutes later Yussuf Poulsen gave Leipzig the lead when he met Emil Forsberg s looping cross with a well-aimed header that beat Fr…
Raheem Sterling scored and recorded a trio of assists while Jadon Sancho hit his first England goals as Gareth Southgate s side came from behind to beat Kosovo 5-3 in Southampton.
Kosovo led after 34 seconds of the Euro 2020 qualifier at St Mary s Stadium on Tuesday, Valon Berisha giving the Three Lions a scare, but they roared back to lead 5-1 at half-time thanks to Sterling s inspirational display.
He levelled the scores with a header and set up Harry Kane to make it 2-1 before Mergim Vojvoda s own goal, Sterling then providing assists for Sancho s two strikes in an action-packed Group A clash.
England lost their focus after the interval with Berisha netting again and Vedat Muriqi converting a penalty a feat Kane failed to match soon after to make the final…
Spain midfielder Saul Niguez spent a lot of time thinking about his absence of playing time at the World Cup but is ready to move on.
Saul made just three appearances during World Cup qualifying for La Roja and watched all four matches of their turbulent campaign in Russia, which ended with a last-16 penalty shoot-out loss to the hosts, from the bench.
However, the 23-year-old Atletico Madrid star was handed a starting berth in Luis Enrique s first match since being appointed coach and scored as Spain overcame England 2-1 in the Nations League at Wembley.
Having also been left out of the squad for Euro 2016, Saul is ready to do his utmost to help the national team moving forward.
It s not the time to talk about the past. I thought about it a lot in the s…
