Disappointing draw at the Mapei: Instant reaction to Sassuolo 1-1 AC Milan

AC Milan failed to kick-start what is a tough run of games with a win, clinching just one point away at Sassuolo despite taking the lead.

After a very slow start to the first half, Milan found their feet and established some pressure in the Sassuolo final third, which continued into the second half. Adrien Rabiot opened the scoring with a rocket of a striker, with most thinking that the Rossoneri would cruise to a win.
