Samuel Mbangula fired a hat trick as Bologna beat AC Milan 4-2 to seal their first Serie A win at San Siro in over 10 years and hand the hosts their first league loss of the season. Belgian forward Mbangula, on loan from Werder Bremen, opened the scoring and struck twice more after Milan defender Davide Bartesaghi's own goal gave the visitors a second-half lead. Milan midfielder Alphadjo Cisse scored twice, cancelling out Mbangula's opener and giving his side a halftime lead, but it was not enough as Ruben Amorim saw his team lose for the first time since his arrival.
Bologna had won their previous two league games on the road and silenced the home fans in the eighth minute when Mbangula converted from inside the box after being teed up by Nadir Zortea. The visitors' lead was short-lived. Milan's on-loan Nottingham Forest winger Omari Hutchinson dispossessed Bologna defender Arthur Theate and squared for Cisse to steer in the equaliser.
Hutchinson then had a hand as Milan took a 27th-minute lead, driving into the box before Fikayo Tomori set up Cisse, who stabbed home his seventh goal of the season. Bologna boss Raffaele Palladino made a triple change on the hour-mark, sending on Juan Miranda, Nicolò Cambiaghi and Martin Vitík, and his side responded with two goals in as many minutes to turn the game on its head. Bartesaghi diverted a free kick into the box past his own goalkeeper to level it up at 2-2 and Mbangula lashed home his second from Miranda's assist.
Bologna sealed all three points on the counter-attack as Mbangula swept home Odgaard's cross for his hat trick. The loss comes ahead of Milan's weekend derby against Inter, who went top of the league on Wednesday with a win over Venezia.
