Ghana star midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu scored against AC Milan for the second consecutive time after netting a consolation goal for Udinese in their 3-2 loss against the Serie A giants on Tuesday night.Â
The 24-year-old powerful midfielder heralded what became a botched comeback for the Little Zebras as Milan accounted for a slim win at the Estadio Communale Fruili.
Mario Balotelli, Giacomo Bonaventura and Christian Zapata had scored three first-half goals to put the Rossoneris in the driving seat but the Ghana midfielder marshalled the middle lines and led what appeared to be a comeback for Udinese before home fans at the Stefano Colantuono.
Badu, who had scored against Milan in their last Serie A clash, gathered his confidence inside the box and hammered home a loose ball into the Milan net.

Colombian forward Duvan Zapata further cut down the deficit by scoring 7 minutes after Badu's goal (58th minute) but Milan still held on to narrowly win the game.
The goal was Badu's first goal of the season but Udinese are without a win in their opening four games of the season, losing all on the road.
