Serie A: Milan stage dramatic comeback to beat Udinese 3-2

Milan staged a dramatic comeback to beat Udinese 3-2, courtesy of goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Jovic, and Noah Okafor.

The Rossoneri aimed to build on their recent league form but faced challenges with several key players absent due to international duty and injuries.

Meanwhile, Udinese, who had won only two games since the start of the season, were determined to make an impact after a draw with Fiorentina.

Milan created early chances, with Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud testing the Udinese defense.

However, it was Loftus-Cheek who broke the deadlock, converting a well-worked move to give Milan the lead.

The Serie A encounter was later interrupted for five minutes due to racist abuse directed at Maignan from Udinese fans.

Despite efforts from players and officials to stop the abuse, the game resumed with Udinese equalizing through Lazar Samardzic’s individual performance.

Udinese then took the lead with Florian Thauvin’s goal, putting Milan under pressure.

However, Milan fought back as Giroud’s shot hit the bar and Jovic scored from the rebound to level the score.

In stoppage time, Okafor secured the win for Milan with a close-range finish.
