Trailing to what looked like being Enrico Delprato's winner for Parma heading into added time, Milan triumphed thanks to strikes from Tijjani Reijnders and Samuel Chukwueze, sending previously frustrated fans delirious with joy.

Milan move up to sixth, five points behind Lazio who sit fourth and host off-form Fiorentina in Sunday's late match.

Nigeria forward Chukwueze's bundled finish completely changed the atmosphere around the San Siro and gave Sergio Conceicao's team a huge boost ahead of a massive week.

Milan travel to Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday gunning for direct qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League before their local derby with Inter Milan next weekend.

Inter are at Lecce on Sunday evening hoping to halve the six-point gap separating the champions from league leaders Napoli.
