"With the match level at 1-1 and with only 10 minutes to play, Milan attempted a counterattack on the left flank just in front of the Como technical area. Rossoneri winger Alexis Saelemaekers was surrounded by Como defenders but attempted to cut infield to break clear of his opponents. Rather than continue his run, however, the Belgium international instead ground to a halt and immediately turned to remonstrate with Como manager Cesc Fabregas."
"The replays show Fabregas alongside Saelemaekers on the edge of the field of play, with Milan alleging the away team manager pulled the shirt of their player, preventing their attempted attack. A touchline bust-up ensued as the Milan bench, and their manager Allegri, confronted their opposite numbers from Como. Allegri was shown a red card by referee Maurizio Mariani for his part in the melee. Fabregas's assistant, and Como team manager, was also shown a red card."
