MILAN, Dec 26 (Reuters) - - AC Milan completed four Serie A games without scoring for the first time since 1984 when they were held 0-0 at next-to-bottom Frosinone on Wednesday. The result, and another lacklustre performance, against the team with Serie A's worst defensive record heaped more pressure on Milan's beleaguered coach Gennaro Gattuso. gi Italian media reported that Gattuso could be fired during the winter break if his team do not improve. Samu Castillejo hit the post for Milan while Frosinone, who have shipped 36 goals in 18 games, had a goal disallowed before halftime. Camillo Ciano volleyed home from Raffaele Maiello's pass but, following a VAR review, the referee ruled that Maiello had fouled Hakan Calhangolu as he won the ball in midfield. In an end-to-end finale, Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain fired over the bar from 12 metres in stoppage time from Calhanoglu's inviting pass as he completed his ninth game without scoring. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma came to Milan's … [Read more...] about Milan draw another blank in Frosinone stalemate

Chievo snatch late draw to stall Inter Milan
(Reuters) - A stoppage-time equaliser from 39-year-old striker Sergio Pellissier earned Chievo a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan in Serie A on Saturday. Ivan Perisic put third-placed Inter in front six minutes before halftime, the Croatian’s first league goal in 112 days, before veteran Pellissier lobbed Samir Handanovic at the death to earn his side a sixth consecutive league draw. It continued a poor run of form for Inter, who have won just one of their last six games and were eliminated from the Champions League this month. Luciano Spalletti’s side are now eight points behind second-placed Napoli ahead of their meeting at San Siro on Boxing Day. Chievo remain rooted to the bottom of the table without a win this season, though they are unbeaten in Serie A since coach Domenico Di Carlo took charge in November, and sit nine points clear of safety with five points, having started the campaign with a three-point penalty.

Higuain the latest victim of Milan No.9 shirt
MILAN (Reuters) - Forced out of Juventus to make way for Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer, Gonzalo Higuain has now become the latest victim of AC Milan's infamous number nine shirt.The Argentine has failed to score in his last seven games in all competitions, a spell stretching back to the match against Sampdoria on Oct. 28.gi Deprived of the sort of service he enjoyed at Juventus, the 31-year-old argues with referees and remonstrates with his younger team mates, flapping his arms in exasperation, when the ball is not passed to him in the way he wants.Milan too have fallen into a rut, drawing 0-0 in their last two Serie A games and suffering an embarrassing group stage exit in the Europa League after losing 3-1 at Olympiakos in between.They host Fiorentina at San Siro on Saturday and, although they are fourth with 27 points they are closer to Udinese in 17th (13 points) than to leaders Juventus (45).

No joy for Milan’s Gattuso or Bologna’s Inzaghi in the cold
MILAN (Reuters) - AC Milan played out a dull 0-0 draw at Bologna on a freezing, foggy night in Serie A on Tuesday, bringing little to cheer the two under-fire coaches Gennaro Gattuso and Filippo Inzaghi.Milan, knocked out of the Europa League by Olympiakos Piraeus on Thursday, were involved in a second straight goalless Serie A stalemate, while Bologna remained in the relegation zone after extending their winless run to nine league games.gi The good news for the visitors, who had Tiemoue Bakayoko sent off in the 76th minute, was that they stayed in fourth spot, which is one of the Champions League qualifying slots, and opened a two-point cushion over fifth-placed Lazio.AC Milan forward Gonzalo Higuain continued his poor run as he wasted two shots in the first half, while Bologna forward Rodrigo Palacio forced a good save from Gianluigi Donnarumma.Milan were reduced to 10 men when Bakayoko, on loan from Chelsea, was booked in the 73rd minute and once again in the 76th for pushing over … [Read more...] about No joy for Milan’s Gattuso or Bologna’s Inzaghi in the cold
