Abraham delighted to be in right place at right time to snatch point

The Giallorossi were 2-0 down in the 86th minute of the match, but late strikes from Roger Ibanez and then - deep into injury-time - Abraham ensured the side came away with an invaluable point.

Speaking after the game, the Englishman said he had a feeling he was going to pop up with the equaliser.

"We know it’s a difficult place to come, we knew we had to be patient – because they defend well and they attack well," Abraham said.

"So the [number of] chances are very small. I don’t know what it was, but I told myself when we had the [free-kick] that this was our chance to score. And I told myself to be ready.

"The ball came in, the goalkeeper saved the header, the ball came to me … thank God I was there in the right place!"

Abraham was asked if the late comeback was a sign of the team's character.

“Of course," he said. "We are building more and more. I said before the break that we would come back stronger and we have done that with a win and a draw. A good performance today.

"We need to carry on like this, we are going in the right way.”

Finale pazzesco di partita. Com’è cominciare l’anno così?

“Questo è un posto molto difficile in cui venire a giocare. Il Milan ha attaccato e difeso bene, abbiamo avuto poche occasioni, ma nell’ultima azione finale sentivo che era la mia occasione giusta, mi sono fatto trovare pronto sulla respinta del colpo di testa di Matic. E abbiamo pareggiato”.

Oggi avete avuto una reazione da grande squadra. Si è visto il carattere, sei d’accordo?

“Assolutamente. Avevo detto prima della sosta che saremmo trovati forte al ritorno in campionato. Abbiamo ottenuto una vittoria e un pareggio. Una buona prestazione, siamo contenti anche per i tifosi. Ora dobbiamo continuare così”.
