"Milan had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Sassuolo at San Siro after Armand Lauriente's late strike for the visitors ensured the Serie A title race remains finely poised. Milan are top by one point with 32 points from 15 matches but can be overtaken by Napoli, the defending champions, who visit 12th-placed Udinese later on Sunday. Sassuolo sit ninth on 21 points."
"The visitors stunned Milan in the 13th minute when Andrea Pinamonti's clever layoff set up the midfielder Ismael Kone, who expertly chipped Mike Maignan to open the scoring. The hosts equalised just before half-time through a well-crafted move. Luka Modric slipped a perfectly weighted pass to Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the right and the Englishman's cross reached the left-back Davide Bartesaghi, who rifled the ball into the bottom corner to open his account for Milan."
"Bartesaghi scored again in the 47th minute to put Milan ahead but their hopes of securing all three points were dashed in the 77th when Lauriente broke free and slipped past Fikayo Tomori before firing into the far corner. If Napoli fail to beat Udinese then Inter, who visit Genoa, would go a point clear with a victory, while fifth-placed Bologna host Juventus in the night match."
