AC Milan 3-2 Rijeka: Montella's Men Get Out of Jail With Last Minute Victory Over Croatian Minnows

AC Milan almost saw a lacklustre performance punished by Croatian small fry HNK Rijeka in the Europa League group stage this evening - as their two goal lead was dramatically cut back in the last ten minutes of the game, before they bagged a stoppage time winner to spare the blushes of the fans and players - running out eventual winners in a 3-2 victory.

The hosts took the lead in the 14th minute, with André Silva angling a stunning finish beyond the Rijeka keeper. The home side were made to work hard, and had to wait until the 52nd to double their lead with a close-range Mateo Musacchio finish.
