Cummings, who made 302 appearances for Bournemouth before leaving in 2012, also made a late appearance to a great reception at Vitality Stadium.
After a goalless first half, Suso gave Milan the lead with just under half an hour remaining, before Mousset fired an instant equaliser.
However, M'Baye Niang then netted a third goal in as many minutes from the penalty spot to regain the lead.

Mousset twice hit the woodwork late on, but Milan were not to be denied victory on a special day for Cummings and Bournemouth.
