AC Milan left it late against the then-10-man Lazio, but Noah Okafor popped up with another massive goal off the bench to win it late on.
Just as it looked like the game was drifting away from Milan after Pellegrini’s red card, they found a way to get themselves in front with three minutes left on the clock and win a cagey affair.
Theo sent Leao away down the left side and his cut-back was thumped on goal by Okafor, with the rebound blocked back into the path of the former Salzburg man, who this time squeezed it by Provedel with the follow-up.
Two more reds came in the closing moments, too. Di Bello gave Marusic a straight red clearly after having said something to him, and then Guendouzi lashed out at Pulisic after a foul to earn his second yellow.
😍 NOAH OKAFOR YOU BEAUTY

Thank God he didn’t do the ankle twist celebration.
😀
This goal reminds me of Tonali’s goal
Honestly, still not a memorable performance, but against a team playing like this, sometimes you just gotta scrape out the win. Good job for the boys pulling through
Sometimes you take the win. But wow. This was an eventful game for sure. The ref lost total control of the game. Lazio had it out for us.
