Montella marvels at 'incredible' Milan fight

Hit by suspensions and injuries, AC Milan salvaged a late point at Lazio and head coach Vincenzo Montella was thrilled with his players.

AC Milan coach Vincenzo Montella was proud of his players for scrapping their way to a point at Lazio in Serie A on Monday.

Montella was without a number of first-team regulars at the Stadio Olimpico, with the likes of Alessio Romagnoli, Mattia De Sciglio and Giacomo Bonaventura all out injured while Gabriel Paletta and Juraj Kucka were suspended following their dismissals in the 1-0 win at Bologna last week.

It looked as though Milan were set for a fifth defeat in six matches as Lazio led through Lucas Biglia's first-half penalty, but with five minutes to go Suso found space between three defenders in the box and curled home a delightful equaliser.
