AC Milan were able to extend their unbeaten Serie A run to 19 games with a dramatic 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona at San Siro on Sunday night.
Milan left it late on Sunday night at San Siro as they battled back from two goals down to earn a point against Hellas Verona and extend their lead atop the Serie A table to two points.
Looking to respond after Thursday’s 3-0 defeat against Lille, the Rossoneri found themselves in a horrendous position as they were two goals down inside 20 minutes as Antonin Barak and a Davide Calabria own-goal gave Verona a dream start.
The home side roared back though, with a Giangiacomo Magnani own-goal and a Zlatan Ibrahimovic header in the 93rd minute earning a point, though the Swede did miss a penalty and handled the ball for a disallowed goal.
Below are the reactions of the Milan squad on social media…
Donnarumma: “In a tough game we proved that we never give up.”
Calabria: “There is regret for the final result, a draw that does not satisfy us. But we close this first part of the season unbeaten, now we recover our energies, ready to return.”
Kessie: “Great reaction and an important point! Now the break and then we come back even more loaded!”
Bennacer: “Lack of success tonight but good point taken despite everything.”
Leao: “Together we tried to win this match but it was not possible, we will come back stronger and with the desire to win.”
