Reijnders put the finishing touches of Milan’s turnaround against Club Brugge on Wednesday. The Rossoneri had been 1-0 up in the first-half, but conceded early into the second despite playing against 10 men.

Paulo Fonseca called for substitutions just shy of the hour mark, introducing Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze, who both claimed assists for Reijnders’s two goals.

Reijnders also drew the foul that Raphael Onyedika his red card just before the end of the first half.
