Allegri: ‘Milan resilient, Maignan kept us alive, Leao wanted the penalty’

Max Allegri feels Milan were ‘resilient’ in their 3-1 victory away to Como, and admits Mike Maignan’s saves ‘kept us alive,’ explaining what happened with Rafael Leao on the penalty.

The Rossoneri had a rough start and were pinned back for most of the first half, trailing to the Marc-Oliver Kempf header, but Christopher Nkunku’s penalty on the stroke of half-time kept them alive.

Mike Maignan’s saves and the brace from unexpected hero Adrien Rabiot turned it around, as Milan inflicted the first home defeat of the season on Como.
