GdS: Milan player ratings for Inter win – substitutes spark scintillating comeback | OneFootball

AC Milan engineered a memorable comeback out in Saudi Arabia in the Supercoppa Italiana final, beating Inter 3-2 after trailing by two goals.

Inter took what looked like a commanding lead in the game when Lautaro Martinez and Mehdi Taremi either side of the half-time whistle, meaning it looked like they were heading for a fourth straight Super Cup trophy.

What Milan showed in the semi-final against Juventus is that they will not give up easily, and they hit back in stunning fashion. Theo Hernandez scored with a free-kick to make it a one-goal game, Christian Pulisic equalised and then Tammy Abraham won it in the dying moments.
