AC Milan missed the chance to go top
of Serie A on Monday when a blunder by the referee meant they
were denied a late winner and ended up losing 2-1 to Spezia at
San Siro.
With the scored tied at 1-1, Junior Messias had the ball in the
net for Milan, but the referee disallowed the goal as just
before he had blown up for a foul and failed to let play
continue.
Rocked by the injustice, Milan then allowed the visitors to go
down the other end and claim victory themselves thanks to a goal
by Emmanuel Gyasi .
Milan Coach Stefano Pioli said the referee apologized for the
mistake after the game.
Milan are second in Serie A with 48 points from 22 games, two
points behind champions Inter, who have a game in hand.
