AC Milan’s hopes of a top-four finish in Serie A suffered a devastating blow as Stefano Pioli’s side lost 2-0 to relegation-threatened Spezia at Stadio Picco. Milan were hoping to bounce back after suffering a chastening 2-0 loss to Inter Milan in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final but their season continued to spiral downhill following this damaging defeat. Ad Przemyslaw Wisniewski popped up with the opener with just 15 minutes remaining and Salvatore Esposito netted his first goal for the club to secure the points – just Spezia’s second win since January.
