Nikola Kalinic’s first goal of 2018 cancelled out a Matteo Politano strike, but a point apiece does precious little for Milan or Sassuolo.

The Rossoneri could’ve closed the gap on the top four, or at least consolidated their Europa League position, but were instead held to another stalemate.

Politano had opened the scoring at San Siro when springing the offside trap on a Luca Mazzitelli headed assist over the top.

Kalinic first wasted a free header, then got the equaliser, turning Lemos to smash in off the underside of the crossbar.

There were chances to win it in stoppages, but Andrea Consigli confirmed his Man of the Match performance with a fingertip save on Jack Bonaventura at the 95th minute.

To make matters worse, Alessio Romagnoli went off injured and Leonardo Bonucci will be suspended against Napoli.
