Sponsored by. KYLE WALKER watched on from the stands as his AC Milan teammates staged a dramatic fightback against Parma - and then began fighting among themselves. Tijjani Reijnders and Samuel Chukwueze netted in stoppage time to give Milan a nerve-shredding 3-2 win on Sunday afternoon.
Walker has joined the Rossoneri from Manchester City on loan for the remainder of the season. The England full-back watched the visit of relegation-threatened Parma from the San Siro terraces. Milan were below par for much of the game and entered stoppage time trailing 2-1.
After having a Strahinja Pavlovic goal ruled out for offside, Reijnders and then Chukwueze sparked pandemonium in the Italian capital. But despite the initial euphoria, tempers flared on the field following the final whistle. Davide Calabria was confronted by his own manager Sergio Conceicao, who had run onto the field.
The Portuguese boss remonstrated with the AC captain, with the pair exchanging shoves. Milan players quickly got in between them, but Conceicao continued to gesture and shout towards his skipper.

Another said: "Everyone going against Calabria.. I'm not his biggest fan but this isn't a good look. Coach shouldn't behave like that.". While a third added: "I stand with my captain. He told [Conceica] to use better tactics I bet.". But a fourth countered: "Drop him to Milan [B team].".
