Hellas Verona 1-2 Milan: Late Tonali strike gives Rossoneri hard-earned victory
October 17, 2022
Sandro Tonali fired a late winner as Milan earned a 2-1 away victory over Hellas Verona to climb to third in Serie A and stay in touch with early leaders Napoli.
Stefano Pioli’s visitors got themselves ahead early on when Rafael Leao’s cross was diverted by Miguel Veloso into his own net, though the lead lasted just 10 minutes as Koray Gunter’s shot came off Matteo Gabbia and nestled in the back of the net.
It looked as if Milan would have to settle for a draw until Tonali’s cool finish in the 81st minute proved decisive.
Milan’s fourth successive Serie A victory over Verona moves them up to third, just three points behind leaders Napoli as Pioli’s men look to retain their title.
