Milan 3-2 Atalanta: Rossoneri Survive Late Scare

AC Milan secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Atalanta in Serie A on Sunday, surviving a late fightback after building a three-goal advantage at San Siro.

Gonçalo Ramos opened the scoring in the 24th minute, converting a penalty after a VAR review identified a handball in the Atalanta box. Adrien Rabiot then doubled Milan's lead just before half-time, finishing a well-worked move to give the hosts a comfortable advantage.

Milan continued to dominate after the break and extended their lead in the 57th minute when Gila headed home from close range following a corner. However, Atalanta refused to give up, with Gaetano reducing the deficit in the 66th minute.

The visitors grew in confidence and made it 3-2 in the 81st minute through Nikola Krstović, setting up a tense finale. Atalanta pushed hard for an equaliser, but goalkeeper Mike Maignan produced crucial saves to preserve Milan's lead.

The result gives Milan an important three points as they look to maintain their momentum in the Serie A title race. Despite the late scare, the hosts showed enough quality in the first hour to secure the victory.

Atalanta, meanwhile, will be disappointed not to have taken anything from the match after their spirited comeback. Milan now turn their attention to their upcoming European fixture before returning to domestic action.
