"AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri stormed off the field in a fit of rage after being sent off during the win over Lazio. Milan eventually won 1-0 to go top of the league at least for the time being, but the drama spilled over towards the end of the five minutes added time when Lazio players surrounded the referee asking for a penalty."
"A VAR check commenced and Allegri clearly presumed a spot kick was going to be awarded for handball against Strahinja Pavlovic, so his protests and some verbals aimed at the officials got him a red card. He then got into an altercation with a Lazio coach who was also given a red, before discovering on his way back to the dressing room that a penalty was not in fact given."
