"Massimiliano Allegri fumed at his AC Milan players after the same mistakes from their draw with Genoa arose again in their 1-1 stalemate against Fiorentina. Christopher Nkunku's late leveller sealed a share of the spoils at Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday, after Pietro Comuzzo had given Fiorentina the lead midway through the second half. Milan have opened the new year with back-to-back draws, leaving them second in Serie A, but offering the chance for their Scudetto rivals around them to take advantage."
""We had a good first half, and chances to score that we didn't convert. Then, after the break, Fiorentina had more of the ball," he told DAZN Italia. "After going a goal down, we had patience to get the ball into the final third, but after equalising, we made the same mistakes we did against Genoa. "There were still seven minutes to go and with that much time, you cannot lose the ball cheaply, you've got to play it better near the penalty area."
"There were positives for Milan, though. They have now not lost more than one match after 19 games in a single Serie A campaign (W11 D7) for only the fourth time in the three-points-per-win era, after 1995-96, 2003-04 and 2004-05. The Rossoneri are also unbeaten in their last 18 league games, last managing a longer such run between January and May 2004 when Carlo Ancelotti was at the helm (19)."
AC Milan drew 1-1 with Fiorentina after Pietro Comuzzo gave Fiorentina the lead and Christopher Nkunku equalised late. Massimiliano Allegri criticised his players for repeating the same mistakes that occurred in the draw with Genoa, saying they lost the ball cheaply near the penalty area despite having time to manage the game. Milan have opened the year with back-to-back draws and sit second in Serie A, giving rivals the opportunity to overtake them. Inter can move above Milan if they beat Napoli. Milan remain unbeaten in their last 18 league games and have not lost more than one match after 19 games.
