Rafael Leao was about to take off his shirt to celebrate his second goal for Milan on Sunday, but Matteo Gabbia saved him from a yellow card.

Milan’s vice-captain Gabbia prevented his teammate Leao from getting a yellow card on Sunday, after the Portuguese had scored his second goal against Fiorentina, giving the Rossoneri the lead and, eventually, all three points thanks to a 2-1 win.

Leao had not scored at San Siro in 17 months
