Samuel Chukwueze returns to win it late for AC Milan

Super Falcons forward Samuel Chukwueze announced his return from injury in style as the Italian giants managed to secure maximum points on Sunday.

Sidelined since December, the 25-year-old scored a last minute winner in AC Milan’s 3-2 comeback victory against Parma.

Initially, Chukwueze had started on the bench before coming in for Youssouf Fofana in the 57th minute.

The visors opened the scoring through Cancellieri in the 24th minute, producing a 1-0 rare lead at San Siro.

At stroke of the first stanza, former Chelsea and USA international Christian Pulisic levelled the scoreline.

On return, Parma grabbed goal number 2 with about 10 minutes remaining to the final whistle.

Tension high, Tijjani Reijnders made it 2-2 in additional minutes, and Chukwueze completed the comeback in a heroics fashion.

This was his first goal under new coach Sérgio Conceição and second in the Italian Serie A this season.
