Noah Okafor certainly made an impact as a substitute for Milan against Monza, as he was on the pitch for 10 minutes, scored a goal and suffered a new injury.
The striker came off the bench at the 68th minute when the Rossoneri were already leading 2-0 through Tijjani Reijnders and Jan-Carlo Simic goals.
It was a wonderful team move, as Reijnders found Olivier Giroud with a disguised pass off the outside of the boot, which the Frenchman cushioned with his first touch into the path of Okafor to sweep in with the inside of the right foot.
However, moments later Okafor went down clutching his left thigh and limped off with yet another muscular injury in the Milan camp.
It was the second of the game, as Tommaso Pobega had already been forced off in the first half.
A wonderful team move sees AC Milan 3-0 up!
