"?AC Milan sit in third in the Serie A table, after an 82nd-minute strike from Gianluca Lapadula secured the Rossoneri a win over Palermo, and Montella is satisfied with the late show.
Speaking on the "?club website, Montella admits there are areas to work on, but he is generally pleased with the performance.

"We played a fine game. Occasionally we showed good football. After they levelled it we created a lot of opportunities and we managed to find the goal only in the final minutes. We deserved this win. There are of course some things we have to improve on, but this is normal", Montella said.
The former Roma striker was particularly happy with his side's reaction to conceding an equaliser.
"The most important thing of the day was the team's reaction, playing with the right mentality which is what you need to win these matches".
Suso opened the scoring for the Milan club before, lija Nestorovski's goal in the 71st minute brought the Sicilians level. However, it was substitute Gianluca Lapadula who earned his side all three points with his first ever goal for Milan.
The result leaves Milan with five wins from its last six league games, and Montella singled out Lapadula for praise after the game.
Montella's Milan are now five points off league leaders Juventus and have won five from their last six, but the 42-year-old insists it's too early to talk about title charges.
"My target, in this moment, is not to concentrate on the table but to help the players play at their best".
