Nine-man Milan stops the rot with stunning victory
AC Milan ended its losing streak with a superb away victory over Bologna, despite having nine men for the last half-hour of the match.
Vincenzo Montella's men came into the match having lost four straight games in all competitions - three in Serie A - and avoided a defeat that would have sealed its worst run of league losses since April 1986.
After Gianluigi Donnarumma had made a superb save from Ladislav Krejci, Milan sealed the most unlikely of victories when Gerard Deulofeu set up Pasalic to score from close range despite the host's numerical advantage.
Bologna made five changes after it was humiliated by a 7-1 loss at home to Napoli last time out and this result is arguably just as unimpressive.
Milan's first half did not go to plan as it lost both starting centre-backs. Alessio Romagnoli came off through injury before Gabriel Paletta received his third red card of the season, getting a second yellow for a foul on Blerim Dzemaili.
Juraj Kucka was next to see red after receiving two yellows in the space of six second-half minutes, but Montella's re-shuffled pack survived before winning in the final moments.
Seventh-placed Milan is now just two points behind rival Inter in fifth, while Bologna stays 13th.
