AC Milan salvage Udinese draw with last-gasp Kessie penalty

Rodrigo Becao's second-half header at the San Siro completely deceived Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Stefano Pioli's faltering side looked destined for a third defeat in four games.

But a needless handball from Udinese substitute Jens Stryger Larsen offered Milan a lifeline, with Ivorian international Kessie converting the penalty with the final kick of the match.

Milan struggled to create many genuine chances in the absence of top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with the Swede sidelined by a groin injury picked up in last weekend's victory over Roma.

Ibrahimovic will miss Milan's trip to his former club Manchester United in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie, but of greater concern is the club's dip in form domestically.
