'Cutrone had the venom inside of him!' - Gattuso praises AC Milan match winner after dramatic Roma victory

Gennaro Gattuso credited Patrick Cutrone with having "venom inside of him" after the substitute stole a last-gasp 2-1 win for AC Milan over Roma.

Federico Fazio equalised for visitors Roma after Franck Kessie opened the scoring five minutes before half-time in Serie A action at San Siro on Friday.

Milan's Gonzalo Higuain and Roma midfielder Steven N'Zonzi both had goals ruled out for their respective sides but the former still made a telling impact at the last – slotting a measured pass into Cutrone's path for the 20-year-old Italy forward to coolly finish.

"Patrick in this moment has the venom inside of him," head coach Gattuso told Italian broadcaster Sky Sports after his team bounced back from their sapping 3-2 loss to Napoli.
