MILAN: A late Tammy Abraham goal gave AC Milan a thrilling 2-1 Champions League win over Red Star Belgrade at the San Siro on Wednesday to make it four wins in a row for the Italian side.
Red Star went close to drawing first blood with an Andrija Maksimovic volley that hit the crossbar before Rafael Leao got the opener for the home side in the 42nd minute, superbly controlling a long ball from Youssouf Fofana with his right foot before using his second touch to clip it into the top corner with his left.
Nemanja Radonjic, who scored twice when his side came from behind to beat Stuttgart 5-1, equalised in the 67th minute, collecting the ball outside the box and unleashing a blistering shot that flew past the despairing dive of Mike Maignan.
Abraham struck the winner in the 87th minute, making the most of some chaos in the penalty box after a set piece to lash the ball into the net and lift Milan up to 12th spot on 12 points, while Red Star are 31st with three points.
The top eight teams qualify automatically for the round of 16. - REUTERS
