Former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea inspired Fiorentina to a thrilling 2-1 victory over AC Milan.

Fiorentina emerged victorious in a wild game against Milan at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

The game had everything; Well-taken goals, penalty misses, incredible saves, and a red card at the end.

Moise Kean missed a penalty for Fiorentina after 22 minutes to set the tone for a thrilling game.

The hosts took the lead through Yacine Adli's low shot, which ricocheted off the post and into the net on 35 minutes.

David De Gea was the hero for Fiorentina, pulling off two stunning penalty saves to deny Theo Hernandez and former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.

Christian Pulisic equalised for Milan on the hour mark, but Albert Gudmundsson restored Fiorentina's advantage in the 73rd minute.

The drama continued as Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino was sent off for protesting in the dying minutes, and Milan's Hernandez followed suit, receiving a red card in added time for dissent.

Nigeria's Samuel Chukwueze was introduced after 82 minutes but failed to impact the outcome as Paolo Fonseca's men endured their second loss in 5 days, after the midweek Champions League defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.
