The Rossoneri got themselves in the driving seat thanks to a header from Ante Rebic and a penalty from Hakan Calhanoglu, but they were unable to keep the away side at bay.
They got back into the game as Ciro Immobile saw his penalty saved and Luis Alberto headed in the rebound, and Immobile netted to level the game at 2-2 early in the second half.
It looked like the spoils would be shared, but Theo Hernandez popped up with a near post header to snatch all three points and keep Milan top of the table.
