AC Milan are currently top of the Serie A table, having produced a 3-2 come-from-behind win against Hellas Verona on Saturday night. The visitors raced into an early two-goal lead, but three second half goals saw the Rossoneri win the match to sit in provisional first place, ahead of Napoli's clash with Torino on Sunday.

Match Report
The night for off to a terrible start for AC Milan, as Gianluca Caprari appeared in the middle of the home side's defence to pounce and fire Hellas Verona in front after seven minutes. An Antonin Barak penalty midway through the first half then provided Stefano Pioli's side with an even greater mountain to scale.
But, that's exactly what they did with a terrific second half performance. Olivier Giroud pulled back one with a header on the hour mark, before Franck Kessie scored a penalty to make it 2-2.
A bizarre own goal from Koray Gunter then gave AC Milan the advantage and they didn't look back, holding on for the 3-2 victory.
