Zlatan Ibrahimovic was delighted for Kevin-Prince Boateng after his hat-trick helped AC Milan defeat Lecce 4-3.
Boateng came off the bench to inspire Milan from being 3-0 down.
"The entrance of Boateng has changed the game: his exuberance at the physical level has opened up the game," said Ibra.
"In the first half we were down, but in the second half we remade ourselves - with interest - and we brought home three key points."
