The Rossoneri were not done for the day as the third goal came from Rafael Leao with 12 minutes left. Atalanta then announced a comeback with Duvan Zapata’s late penalty and Mario Pasalic scared Milan with a second goal for Atalanta in stoppage time. Milan has closed in on Napoli to just two points lead with their sixth win from seven matches.
