AC Milan suffer second straight defeat in shock 3-1 home loss to Sassuolo


AC Milan suffer second straight defeat in shock 3-1 home loss to Sassuolo, allowing table-toppers Napoli to move three points clear in Serie A

  • AC Milan were stunned by a 3-1 defeat at home to mid-table Sassuolo on Sunday 
  • Alessio Romagnoli scored first for Milan before Gianluca Scamarra equalised
  • Simon Kjaer then netted own goal before Domenico Berardi added a third 











AC Milan slipped to their second successive Serie A defeat when Sassuolo stunned their opponents in the San Siro after coming from behind to earn a 3-1 victory on Sunday.

The hosts raced into an early lead after skipper Alessio Romagnoli headed home from a corner in the 21st minute, and Milan looked on course to get back to winning ways in the league following last weekend’s loss at Fiorentina.

However, Sassuolo, who beat Juventus away from home last month, turned the match on its head, with Gianluca Scamacca’s stunning strike and Simon Kjaer’s unfortunate own goal giving them a 2-1 lead inside 33 minutes.
