Jens Petter Hauge's late strike for Milan ends Celtic’s comeback hopes

almost 5 years in The guardian

Europe continues to torment Neil Lennon and Celtic. The Scottish champions produced a rousing second-half display to threaten a comeback from two goals down against Milan but a rescue act proved beyond them. The Milan substitute Jens Petter Hauge broke clear in stoppage time to add a flattering touch to the scoreline. Milan were comfortably in the ascendency at half-time thanks to goals from Rade Krunic and the on-loan Real Madrid forward Brahim Díaz, but a change of shape and faces ignited a determined response from Lennon’s side. The substitute Mohamed Elyounoussi’s header brought late hope but, as Celtic pushed on, Hauge raced through an exposed home defence to douse it.
