Milan completed an extraordinary comeback from 2-0 down after 24 minutes to win 3-2 with Olivier Giroud, Franck Kessie and a bizarre Koray Gunter own goal.
The Rossoneri lost Theo Hernandez and Brahim Diaz to COVID-19, already decimated by injuries to Mike Maignan, Alessandro Plizzari, Alessandro Florenzi, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Junior Messias, but Olivier Giroud was back in the starting XI and Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the bench. Verona were unbeaten since Igor Tudor took over, with two wins and two draws, and Miguel Veloso returned from his long lay-off while ex-Milan flop Nikola Kalinic was given the nod.

It was a thriller in Florence, as Milan snatched victory with Hakan Calhanoglu in a game with five spectacular goals, the woodwork rattled several times and a goal-line clearance.
The Rossoneri were eliminated from the Europa League on Thursday by Manchester United and felt the fatigue of that game, especially with Ante Rebic, Rafael Leao, Mario Mandzukic, Davide Calabria, Alessio Romagnoli and Daniel Maldini injured. Zlatan Ibrahimovic had his first start in almost a month. The Viola missed Igor and Aleksandar Kokorin, with Christian Kouame and Sofyan Amrabat also not at 100 per cent.

This was a head-to-head for the top three places, with both teams fatigued after Thursday’s Europa League exploits. With Chris Smalling, Roger Ibanez, Davide Santon, Edin Dzeko and Nicolò Zaniolo injured, plus Marash Kumbulla ready at best for the bench, it was again a makeshift Giallorossi defence. The Rossoneri missed Ismael Bennacer and Mario Mandzukic, but Stefano Pioli decided to drop Alessio Romagnoli following recent poor performances, starting Chelsea loanee Fikayo Tomori.

Crotone were rock bottom and had Brazilian talent Junior Messias suspended, along with Luca Cigarini and Salvatore Molina injuries, so threw Adam Ounas and Samuel Di Carmine straight into the starting XI.
