AC Milan produced a quite simply stunning comeback to win against Lecce, scoring three goals in the second half to overturn a 2-0 deficit.
Not long after Krstovic doubled the hosts’ lead, the Rossoneri’s hopes were rekindled in the 68th minute and through a touch of good fortune. Leao burst down the left and pulled back a cross to near the penalty spot, with Joao Felix’s first-time shot turned into the back of his own goal by Gallo.
🙌 An own-goal gets us back in it!

Then, just three minutes later, Milan were handed the chance to level things from the penalty spot. A very clumsy challenge from Gallo inside the box saw the American take a tumble while looking to get away down the right side and he took on the responsibility from 12 yards, despatching it emphatically and leaving Falcone with no chance.
😍 Pulisic from the spot! It’s 2-2!

With 10 minutes left on the clock, the comeback was complete. The creator of the goal was Leao as he against marauded down the left and cut inside to deliver a teasing cross all the way to the far post, where Pulisic was on hand to get his second of the night and make it 3-2 in favour of the Rossoneri.
😱 PULISIC AGAIN. THE COMEBACK IS COMPLETE!

Poor play but the win was vital
Trust me when i say the are many fake fans rooting for milan to get dusted. If we were to lose this game, the comments will be many.
.
My concern is why we always have to come.back from behind.This is unnecessary preaaure placed on us and then in some cases we pull of a win but in most cases we pull off a draw or a loss. I also.noticed that in most games we have the lesser possession.Again allowing the opponent more opportunity to score and also giving opponent much confidence
This game was the exception with 71% possessio n but should be expected against lower ranked teams on table
