Milan: AC Milan were held to a spectacular 3-3 draw at struggling Sassuolo on Sunday to leave Inter Milan within touching distance of the Serie A title ahead of their late fixture with Cagliari.
Noah Okafor salvaged a hard-fought point for Milan in the 84th minute on a hot spring day in Reggio Emilia, but second-placed Milan still risk conceding the Scudetto to Inter in a hotly-anticipated derby despite coming back from two goals down.
Milan, who also netted through a sublime individual goal from Rafael Leao and Luka Jovic's close-range finish, are 13 points behind their local rivals with six fixtures left in their season.
Should Inter beat Cagliari at the San Siro as expected, the champions-elect would only need to draw with Milan on Monday week in order to secure their 20th league crown.
That would be a bitter pill to swallow for Milan, who have never been in the title race this season as Inter have charged off into the distance since the turn of the year.
