Nicolo Barella opened the scoring with an excellent strike in the 10th minute 1-0 up at the break.
However, two goals in the space of two second-half minutes from defender Alex Sandro and Dusan Vlahovic turned the game in favour of the Old Lady.

Inter Milan beat Juventus to another domestic title
Inter Milan have won their first Coppa Italia title since 2011, coming from behind to see off Juventus in a six-goal thriller.
Two goals from Perisic saw the Nerazzurri defeat the Old Lady 4-2 after extra time to crowned the latest Coppa Italia winners for the first time in over a decade.
The win comes just a few months after Simeone Inzaghi’s men defeated the Turin giants 2-1 to lift the Italian Super Cup, Supercoppa Italiana, back in January.
Inter are also Serie A champions after they also dethroned Juve last season under former coach Antonio Conte.
The Nerazzurri now hold all domestic titles in Italy in the space of just a year and are also in the race to retain the league title.
