📰 Pegged back within five minutes of taking the lead, Milan left Sassuolo with a point – and Rúben Amorim felt two had been thrown away. 📌 Key points 🤝 Milan drew 1-1 at Sassuolo and move to 12 points. 🅰️ Second-half substitute Luka Modrić set up Adrien Rabiot's opener. 🚩 Five minutes later Milan switched off at a corner and Cas Odenthal equalised. 🗣️ Amorim said Milan "cannot afford to concede from a corner". 🚑 Defender Matteo Gabbia was stretchered off on 18 minutes. 📝 What happened 🚑 Milan visited Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium on 11 October. On 18 minutes Gabbia was hurt making a sliding challenge and was carried off, with Koni De Winter replacing him. 🅰️ Modrić replaced Pervis Estupiñán at half-time. On 63 minutes Rabiot took his pass and drilled a left-footed shot in at the near post. 🚩 The lead lasted five minutes. On 68 minutes Milan hesitated defending a corner, and Odenthal beat Mike Maignan from close range. 🗣️ Amorim told Sky Sport: "Two points thrown away – we must manage the lead better." On Gabbia, he said he did not yet know the type or extent of the injury, nor the recovery time. Rabiot also spoke of "two points lost" and called for more concentration. 📊 By the numbers • Score: Sassuolo 1-1 Milan • Rabiot 63' → Odenthal 68' • Gabbia off injured: 18 minutes • Milan: 12 points (level with Cagliari) 🔭 Why it matters Milan remain unbeaten but are now four points behind leaders Inter and Lazio (16). With Amorim warning of nine matches in 28 days, losing a key defender like Gabbia is a major worry.
