Milan claimed a dramatic 3-1 victory at Empoli as two injury-time goals from Fode Ballo-Toure and Rafael Leao downed the Serie A champions’ stubborn opponents.
Nedim Bajrami’s 92nd-minute free-kick looked to have earned a point for Empoli after Ante Rebic had put Milan ahead in the 79th minute.
But Ballo-Toure finished in the 94th minute to puncture Empoli’s resolve.
With Empoli’s hopes dashed, Leao added a third to ensure Milan returned to winning ways following their defeat to Napoli last time out.
