"AC Milan were managed for the 200th time by Massimiliano Allegri, but the result was not one to celebrate the milestone. Instead, it was a frustrating one. There can be some positives taken from the game last night. Milan never gave up and deserved to level the game when Rafael Leao scored, perhaps even a little earlier. However, the goal to put them into that situation of needing a goal was not great."
"Additionally, the fact that the point could have been lost with a penalty kick, even if it was harsh, is another reason to be frustrated. Here are the key stats from the game. The key stats Starting with the scoreline, it can be viewed in two ways and both of them are right. Firstly, frustration at the renewed failure to beat a lower-positioned team and then also relief that the unbeaten streak has continued."
"Ultimately, the Rossoneri dominated the ball, had more xG, despite the penalty, and pummeled the Genoa goal with attempts. In fact, Allegri's men had more shots on target than the Rossoblu had full stop. The corners only add to the domination statistics. However, there may be some frustrations with the amount of yellows, which will now see Fikayo Tomori suspended this weekend."
Massimiliano Allegri managed his 200th game for AC Milan, a match that ended in a frustrating draw. Milan fought back with Rafael Leao scoring to level the game, but the situation requiring a late equaliser stemmed from a suboptimal concession. A potentially harsh penalty nearly cost the point. Milan dominated possession, posted higher xG, produced more shots on target than Genoa had attempts, and accumulated numerous corners. Yellow cards were an issue, with Fikayo Tomori suspended for the next match. Genoa matched a long-standing record with a third consecutive draw at San Siro while sitting 17th.
