AC Milan

Jens Petter Hauge rescues point for AC Milan against 10-man Sampdoria as title hopes begin to fade


Fabio Quagliarella scored a long-range lob as AC Milan’s faint title hopes suffered another blow after a 1-1 draw at home to Sampdoria.

The Rossoneri looked rusty and disjointed and had Gianluigi Donnarumma to thank for keeping them in the game in the opening 45 minutes with brilliant saves to keep out Morten Thorsby’s header from a corner and a lob from Manolo Gabbiadini.

And despite the return of Ismael Bennacer, Milan failed to have a single shot on target in the first half, the third time that has happened in 2021.

The home side brought on Pierre Kalulu at the break but it did not spark a change and they fell behind when Theo Hernandez’s woeful pass was pounced on by Quagliarella who lofted the ball over Donnarumma first time from around 30 yards.

Claudio Ranieri’s side were reduced to ten men minutes later when Adrien Silva was shown a second yellow for a daft lunge on Samu Castillejo.

And after further substitutions, Sefano Pioli’s side equalised three minutes from time courtesy of Jens Petter Hauge’s fine individual effort.

The result means Sampdoria remain tenth while Milan are five points behind Serie A leaders Inter Milan who have two games in hand.
