Now made public AC Milan offered £50m for player on deadline day…

 New AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca was hoping for a reaction when he dropped three key players for a visit to Lazio in Serie A.

The move led to a solid start by the Rossoneri. The final result was a third straight game without a win on Saturday.

Taty Castellanos and Boulaye Dia scored second-half goals for Lazio to overturn an early opener from Strahinja Pavlovic, and the benched Rafael Leao came on to equalize for Milan in a 2-2 draw.

Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku scored on debut and Antonio Conte´s Napoli earned its second straight win by coming back to beat 10-man Parma 2-1.

Leao, Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria were each benched at the start by Fonseca.

Leao and Hernandez were sent on after Lazio´s two goals, with former Roma striker Tammy Abraham also entering for his Milan debut, and Abraham provided the assist for Leao´s equalizer.
