40' GOAL! Milan 1-0 Roma (Kessie)

He teed up a chance moments ago and now Kessie provides the breakthrough at point-blank range! It's nothing more than Milan deserve. They lead 1-0 shortly before half-time.

Superb play on the left from Rodriguez to get in behind, check back onto his right foot and deliver a classy ball across the face that Kessie only had to tap home.

59' GOAL! Milan 1-1 Roma (Fazio)

Donnarumma's punch from a corner comes back into the box and bounces around before Fazio of all people rifles in a brilliant first-time finish. It's 1-1 with 30 minutes remaining.

62' OFFSIDE! Higuain's goal disallowed

Higuain's goal has been chalked off by the VAR! The Argentina striker looked to have restored Milan's lead, but his foot was marginally ahead of the last defender and it's back to 1-1.

80' HANDBALL! Nzonzi's goal disallowed!

This time the VAR comes to Milan's aid! N'Zonzi had poked home from a corner for what appeared to be his maiden Roma goal, only for the referee to cancel it out due to a handball. 

90+5' GOAL! Milan 2-1 Roma (Cutrone)

Milan surely win it at the death! And it's the substitute Cutrone who picks out the bottom right corner from Higuain's glorious pass. The home side lead 2-1 with mere moments remaining.

He might not have broken his duck just yet, but Higuain will have endeared himself to the fans with that clever ball in behind the defence.

Match Report

Patrick Cutrone gave AC Milan lift-off in Serie A this season as the substitute snatched a 2-1 victory over Roma deep into stoppage time at San Siro.

Stand-out recruits Gonzalo Higuain and Steven N'Zonzi each had goals ruled out via VAR reviews for their respective sides after Roma defender Federico Fazio cancelled out Franck Kessie's 40th-minute opener.

It was a frustrating night in front of goal for Higuain but the ex-Juventus man turned provider in the 95th minute, threading a fine pass for Cutrone to slot home.

Gennaro Gattuso led raucous celebrations as his team bounced back from last weekend's chastening 3-2 loss at Napoli, while Eusebio Di Francesco's Roma are now winless since the opening weekend.
