Milan into second after five-goal thriller
Davide Calabria scored inside the first 30 seconds as AC Milan triumphed 3-2 over Atalanta to regain second place in the Serie A table on Monday (AEDT).
The Rossoneri captain tucked home the rebound after his initial shot was parried poorly by Juan Musso with the hosts caught cold, before Sandro Tonali profited from a Remo Freuler error to add a second and Rafael Leao rifled in a third.
Duvan Zapata smashed home a penalty after substitute Junior Messias was deemed to have handled the ball in the area after a video assistant referee (VAR) check and the striker set Mario Pasalic up to convert at the back post as the seconds wound down, but Gian Piero Gasperini's men left it too late to salvage a point.
The result sees Milan maintain its unbeaten record, with this its sixth win from its opening seven league fixtures, only dropping points in a 1-1 draw away to Juventus so far.
