Serie A leaders AC Milan maintained their unbeaten league record in dramatic fashion on Sunday when Theo Hernandez scored twice, including an injury-time equaliser, as they fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at home to Parma.
Milan, again missing talismanic forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic through injury, hit the woodwork four times and also saw a first-half goal disallowed while Parma scored from two of their three shots on target.
Milan, who have gone 23 Serie A games unbeaten since losing to Genoa in March, stayed top with 27 points from 11 matches, but saw their lead cut after the five teams behind them all won.
Inter Milan are second with 24, followed by Napoli and Juventus (23), Sassuolo (22) and AS Roma (21).
“We didn’t approach the game well, we were too relaxed, and then the game became difficult against opponents who were playing well,” said Milan coach Stefano Pioli.
“We had a lot of chances to equalise early on, but we’re a team with heart and character and we got it back in the end. A point won? We always play to win, I think there were chances to bring home the three points.”
