Fortune smiled on AC Milan as the struggling Italian outfit claimed their first win in Champions League Group C by edging out Zenit 3-2 in an enthralling encounter at the Petrovsky Stadium on Wednesday night.
                                                              The Rossoneri made a rip-roaring start to the game, racking up two goals in the space of three first-half minutes through Urby Emanuelson and Stephan El Shaarawy. However, Hulk dragged Zenit back into the game with a fine strike just before the break before then setting up Roman Shirokov for the equaliser early in the second period.
                                                               Milan weren't done, though, and they snatched a precious win courtesy of an unfortunate own goal by Thomas Hubocan that consigned Zenit to a first home defeat in Uefa competition since September 2008.
