MILAN – The Rossoneri battled back from 2-0 down at half-time to draw 3-3 with Frosinone on Sunday afternoon at the San Siro.

Luca Paganini took Donnarumma by surprise with a strike from distance to break the deadlock after only 2 minutes, sparking a furious reaction from Milan who enjoyed a raft of chances to equalise, but it was the visitors who doubled their lead on the cusp of half-time thanks to a Kragl free-kick.

The second-half kicked-off in dramatic fashion with Balotelli seeing a penalty saved from Bardi only for Bacca to make amends moments later and get Milan back in the contest with a tap-in from point-blank range.

Dionisi restored the away side’s two goal cushion but super-sub Antonelli, who had only been on the pitch a matter of seconds, scored a stunning goal to set up a grandstand finale.

Galvanised by Antonelli’s goal, Milan pinned Frosinone back in search of an equaliser and their efforts were rewarded when Menez completed the comeback from the penalty spot deep into stoppages.

Balotelli very nearly won it right at the death, but his fierce strike came crashing against the cross-bar as both teams shared the spoils. CLICK HERE for more and the minute by minute match-report. Here below are the stats to emerge from the game:
