Mbangula hat-trick stuns Milan 4-2 at San Siro before the derby
Post
๐ฐ Milan lost 4-2 at home to Bologna for their first league defeat of the season.
๐ Key points
โฝ Milan were beaten 4-2 by Bologna at San Siro on 28 October.
๐ฉ Samuel Mbangula scored a hat-trick (8, 62 and 86 minutes).
๐ฅ Alphadjo Cisse's double was not enough for Milan.
๐ Ruben Amorim admitted his side were tired from the start.
๐๏ธ Fifth-placed Milan face Inter in the derby on 31 October.
๐ What happened
โฝ Mbangula put Bologna ahead after eight minutes. Cisse equalised on 14 minutes and then turned the game round on 27 minutes from Fikayo Tomori's pass to make it 2-1.
๐ฅ The second half swung the other way. On the hour Juan Miranda's free kick led to a Davide Bartesaghi own goal, and two minutes later Mbangula finished Miranda's cross. He completed his hat-trick on 86 minutes from Odgaard's pass, and San Siro booed at the final whistle.
๐ฉน Milan were without Rabiot, Gila and Moreira, and Tomori went off at half-time with a thigh problem, replaced by Luka Modric.
๐ฃ๏ธ Amorim admitted a lack of energy, saying he 'felt it from the first minute' and that the two quick goals left no time 'to adapt even to the draw'. On the derby he said: 'We can win or lose, but we have to get the result because we are AC Milan.'
