Six minutes from time, Okafor set up Chukwueze, his fellow substitute, for the game-winning goal.

Fikayo Tomori, the centre back, had a strong performance in the hotly contested match as well.

For the Serie A powerhouses this season, Chukwueze has already scored twice in Europe.

Okafor’s mother is Swiss, but his father is from Nigeria. But the attacker has decided to play international football for Switzerland.

Tomori chose to play for England despite the fact that his parents are from Nigeria.

After the victory, AC Milan was eliminated from the UEFA Europa League.
