A hilarious sequence of events allowed AC Milan to find an equaliser in their Serie A fixture versus Sampdoria on Sunday.
After Roberto Soriano opened the scoring moments earlier, Nigel de Jong leveled the score in the 74th minute. He attempted a bicycle kick that 'keeper Emiliano Viviano would likely have saved - had it not deflected off Sampdoria's Alfred Duncan.
Who could have guessed de Jong would score three goals this season?
3 - Nigel de Jong's three league goals this season is his most productive return since 2005/06 (3 - 2 for Ajax, 1 for HSV). Fresh.
