September 17, (THEWILL) – Liverpool overcame AC Milan 3-1 in a thrilling UEFA Champions League match at San Siro. The Reds bounced back from an early setback to claim their third consecutive victory against the Italian side.
Milan started strongly, with Christian Pulisic scoring in the third minute. However, Liverpool equalised through Ibrahima Konate’s header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick. Virgil van Dijk then put the visitors ahead, nodding in a corner from Kostas Tsimikas on his 50th UCL appearance.
The match saw intense action, with both teams creating numerous chances. Liverpool hit the crossbar twice through Mohamed Salah, while Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan made several crucial saves before being forced off due to injury early in the second half.
Dominik Szoboszlai sealed the win for Liverpool with a well-taken goal, assisted by Cody Gakpo. The result marks a strong recovery for Arne Slot’s team following their recent English Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest.
This victory puts Liverpool in a strong position in their UCL group, while Milan faces a challenging run of fixtures ahead, including matches against Internazionale and Bayer Leverkusen.
