Milan fight back to draw 2-2 at Lecce

Agency :
AC Milan’s dismal start to the year continued when it had to fight back from two goals down to draw at Lecce 2-2, losing more ground in the Serie A title race on Saturday.
An early Théo Hernandez own goal and a header from Federico Baschirotto gave Lecce a solid halftime lead. But Milan, which fumbled a two-goal lead last week, managed to rescue a point with goals from Rafael Leão and captain Davide Calabria.
Milan moved back into second spot but the defending champion was nevertheless nine points behind Napoli, which crushed Juventus 5-1 on Friday.
“Of course it’s not nice, you want to go away with the three points,” Milan defender Sergiño Dest said. “The way we started was not sharp enough. They wanted it more than us at the beginning of the game.
“In the second half it went better but normally, as AC Milan, you have to take the three points here.”
Meanwhile, Inter Milan was level with Juventus, a point behind AC Milan, after a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Hellas Verona.
