"The away side went in front early on through Ismael Kone, but then a brace from Davide Bartesaghi turned the game on its head, with the wing-back netting either side of the interval. However, Armand Lauriente came off the bench to level inside the final 20 minutes and the points were shared. It is yet another frustrating result for Milan, after previously dropping points to Cremonese, Parma and Pisa."
"Looking at the stat line, red dominates things. Milan had more possession, more Expected Goals, double the amount of big chances, more total shots, shots on target and corners. While that tells us the balance of play was in favour of the Rossoneri, there were some worrying moments late on, such as Lauriente nearly scoring a winner after hitting the post."
"Davide Bartesaghi is the youngest Milan player to score a brace in Serie A since September 2012 (Stephan El Shaarawy, just 15 days younger). At 19 years and 350 days, Bartesaghi is also the youngest Italian defender to score for Milan in Serie A since Paolo Maldini (19 years and 247 days) on February 28, 1988. He is the youngest defender to score in Serie A this season, too."
Milan fell behind early to an Ismael Kone goal before Davide Bartesaghi scored a brace, netting either side of the interval. Armand Lauriente came off the bench to level inside the final 20 minutes, leaving the match drawn and Milan frustrated after previous dropped points to Cremonese, Parma and Pisa. Milan dominated possession, Expected Goals, big chances, total shots, shots on target and corners, but failed to convert that superiority into victory. Bartesaghi became the youngest Milan player to score a Serie A brace since 2012 and the youngest Italian defender to score for Milan since 1988. Milan have won only one of their last five league matches against Sassuolo and have taken just two points from three home matches against newly promoted teams this season, conceding twice in each game.
