Leon rescues Real in Milan

SUBSTITUTE Pedro Leon struck an injury-time equaliser against AC Milan to send Real Madrid through to the last 16 of the Champions League and preserve the Spanish club’s unbeaten record under coach Jose Mourinho.

Milan replacement Filippo Inzaghi looked to have consigned Madrid to defeat after netting twice in the second half to help the Italian outfit overturn a 1-0 deficit, given to Madrid by Gonzalo Higuain just before half-time.

With Mourinho set to suffer a losing return to San Siro where he enjoyed success with Inter, Leon popped up in the fourth minute of added time to drill an equaliser.
