Ac Milan returned to winning ways.

AC Milan return back to winning ways with second half goals from Patrick Cutrone and Franck Kessie sealing a come-from-behind 2-1 win over promoted Parma on Sunday.

Gennaro Gattuso’s side fell 2-0 to Juventus and were held 1-1 by Lazio in their previous two league games but move fourth  place with two points ahead of the Romans who will travel to bottom club Chievo later on Sunday.

It was a hard-fought victory for Milan days after competing in the Europa League with a number of players missing including suspended Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuain.

“It’s an important victory and a great success,” said Cutrone. “It’s not easy to fight back for the win.”

Roberto Inglese nodded in his fourth goal this season for Parma five minutes after the break, off a corner but Milan pulled one back six minutes later with Cutrone volleying in.

Kessie slotted in Milan’s second from the spot on 71 minutes after Alessandro Bastoni was deemed after consultation with VAR to have handled the ball.

“It’s disappointing to come home with zero points despite having played a good match,” said Parma coach Roberto D’Aversa, whose side had come into the game on a run of consecutive wins.

Parma remain sixth and are now five points off AC Milan who occupy in the final Champions League spot.
