It was an incident-packed game with a saved penalty and VAR decisions, but ultimately decided by a Jack Bonaventura strike as Milan beat Sampdoria to go joint sixth.

The Rossoneri had a great chance to take an early lead when Nicola Murru blocked a Davide Calabria cross with his arm, but Ricardo Rodriguez saw his spot-kick parried by specialist Emiliano Viviano.

Another Calabria cross did get through and this time Bonaventura steered it in, volleying off the inside of his boot.
