Watch: Pasalic rescues 9-man Milan with late goal off Deulofeu nutmeg

ALESSANDRO GAROFALO / Reuters

AC Milan pulled off a miraculous win over Bologna by way of an 89th-minute go-ahead goal by Mario Pasalic crafted by a ridiculous nutmeg assist by newcomer Gerard Deulofeu.

While a late winner is always a treat to watch, Milan fans will relish this particular victory with twice the vigour as both Gabriel Paletta and Juraj Kucka picked up red cards before the hour mark, leaving Milan with just nine players for more than half an hour of play.

Some smart goalkeeping from Gianluigi Donnarumma kept Milan in the game before the Spanish winger on loan from Everton left Bologna defender Emil Krafth for dead with a through-the-legs pass to Pasalic, who beat goalkeeper Angelo da Costa for the only goal of the game.
