Jovic salvages point for ailing Milan at Salernitana
Luka Jovic saved a point for AC Milan at Salernitana with his last-gasp leveller in Friday’s 2-2 draw at Serie A’s bottom club.
Serbia forward Jovic lashed home his third goal in as many league
games from Olivier Giroud’s deft knock-down to stop third-placed Milan
from falling to an embarrassing defeat.
Antonio Candreva seemed to
have shot Salernitana to a shock win when his long-distance effort
squirmed under usually reliable Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan in the
63rd minute.
Candreva also set up Federico Fazio’s leveller after Fikayo Tomori had nodded the away side ahead in the 17th minute.
Jovic’s
equaliser leaves Salernitana four points behind Udinese who sit just
outside the relegation zone and are at Torino on Sunday.
Meanwhile
Milan risk losing further ground on league leaders Inter Milan who are
eight points in front of their local rivals ahead of Sunday’s clash with
Lecce at the San Siro.
