Milan salvage draw at Fiorentina with late Nkunku goal

FLORENCE, Italy, Jan 11 : ‌Christopher Nkunku scored in the 90th minute to earn AC Milan a 1-1 draw at Fiorentina on Sunday but, despite extending their unbeaten league run, the visitors continue to lose ground in the Serie A title race with their second stalemate in four days.

Milan remain second on 40 points, two behind Inter Milan who could increase their lead when they host champions Napoli later on Sunday, while Fiorentina are third from bottom on 14 points.

"I'm not thinking about it (Inter v Napoli) at all," Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri told DAZN.

"We have to think about ourselves, we have ‌to return to winning ways, there are a lot of points still to play for."

Milan's ‌only league loss this season came on the opening day and after struggling once more against a relegation-battling side - they also came from behind in Thursday's 1-1 draw with Genoa - have now gone 18 matches without defeat.

Fiorentina spent the early stages on the attack without really troubling the visitors before a quick counter almost let Milan in, with keeper David de Gea coming out to deny Christian Pulisic.

Allegri left Luka Modric, Rafael Leao and Adrien Rabiot on the bench, giving Niclas Fullkrug and Ardon Jashari their first ‍league starts, with Fullkrug and Pulisic looking very comfortable together up front.

The pair played a neat one-two which launched Pulisic through on goal once more, this time going around De Gea but taking the ball too far wide and his finish ended up in the side netting.

The duo combined again, Fullkrug biding his time before finding Pulisic with a backheeled flick and the American hit his shot straight at ​the keeper.

Milan were now finding it easy to ‌open up the home defence but without getting the end product and
