MILAN SNATCH DRAMATIC VICTORY IN GAME MARRED BY ALLEGED RACIST ABUSE OF MAIGNAN
Noah Okafor scored a stoppage-time winner as Milan snatched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Udinese, in a game marred by alleged racist abuse of Rossoneri keeper Mike Maignan.
The first-half incident involving Maignan had seen the keeper - after speaking to the referee - walk off the pitch, as the game was suspended.
The game did restart however when Maignan re-emerged following discussions in the tunnel.
The visitors took the lead in the 31st minute when Theo Hernandez’s low cross found Ruben Loftus-Cheek, whose deflected first-time shot gave him his second goal in three games.
Udinese responded three minutes before half-time when Lazar Samardzic swept home from 20 yards, while Florian Thauvin completed the turnaround when he lashed past Maignan from a tight angle in the 62nd minute.
However, Milan denied their opponents only a third league win of the season in dramatic fashion with two of their substitutes doing the damage.
First, Luka Jovic headed home the equaliser with seven minutes remaining.
Then in the third minute of stoppage time, a deep corner broke to the unmarked Okafor, who lashed in what proved to be the winner, as Milan closed the gap on Serie A’s top two to four points.
