Leao nabs draw for AC Milan in tense Genoa clash
Nicolae Stanciu missed a last-gasp penalty as Genoa was pegged back by AC Milan in a chaotic 1-1 draw at San Siro.
Serie A struggler Genoa seemed set to clinch a surprise victory when Davide Bartesaghi brought down Mikael Ellertsson deep in second-half stoppage time.
However, Stanciu fluffed his lines from the spot, blazing his attempt well over the crossbar.
That incident came just moments after Rafael Leao had headed Milan level, cancelling out Lorenzo Colombo's 28th-minute opener for the visitors.
Milan, who saw Matteo Gabbia hit the woodwork twice, almost won it through Niclas Fullkrug prior to the Genoa break that resulted in the spot-kick.
Yet an animated Daniele De Rossi and Massimiliano Allegri, who was marking his 200th match in charge of the Rossoneri across two spells, were ultimately forced to settle for a share of the spoils, with Milan now three points behind Serie A pacesetter Inter.
