AC Milan 3 Olympiacos 1: Higuain, Cutrone mount Rossoneri rescue act

Patrick Cutrone and Gonzalo Higuain gave AC Milan life in the second half as the Serie A side beat Olympiacos to stay top in Group F.

Gonzalo Higuain returned from injury to help a Patrick Cutrone-inspired AC Milan come from behind in a 3-1 win over Olympiacos in the Europa League.

Argentina striker Higuain, sidelined with a leg problem for the past two matches, scored in between Cutrone's crucial brace amid a game-changing burst of three goals in nine second-half minutes.

Milan had slipped back into old habits prior to their 70th-minute equaliser, struggling to convert possession into chances as their six-match unbeaten run in all competitions appeared destined to end.
