Sassuolo 1-1 AC Milan: Five things we learned – lapses, a rocket, a lightning rod and the grace period

By: Ivan Stoev AC Milan got their Serie A campaign back underway after the long break, and it was to prove to be a difficult night against Sassuolo.

Milan started the game slowly and the home side had the better of the opening exchanges. The Rossoneri finished the first half strongly though, coming close a couple of times, and then Adrien Rabiot fired in the opener just after the hour mark.

Just when it seemed as though Ruben Amorim’s men had the game where they wanted it, they allowed a very cheap equaliser a few minutes later as the substitute Cas Odenthal bundled in a corner from close range.
