– Juventus were left struggling in the unlikely surroundings of Serie A’s bottom three on Sunday after a 1-1 draw with AC Milan kept them still searching for a first league win this season.
– Alvaro Morata’s fourth-minute goal gave Juve the lead but Ante Rebic headed in a 76th-minute equaliser as Milan ended the weekend in second place on goal difference behind city rivals Inter who crushed Bologna 6-1 on Saturday.
– Milan could have won the match in the dying moments but Juve keeper Wojciech Szczesny pulled off a brilliant point-blank save to deny Pierre Kalulu.
– Juventus, still reeling from the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United, are 18th with just two points from four games with only Cagliari and Salernitana propping them up.
– Milan, missing both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud, dropped their first league points of the season.
– However, they will be relieved not to have lost back-to-back games having gone down to Liverpool in the Champions League in midweek.
– Juventus are next in Serie A action against Spezia on the road on Wednesday. Milan are at home to Venezia in their next outing on the same day.
