The 20th-placed team was minutes away from taking all three points at home

AC Milan took a huge blow on their title hopes as they finished 2-2 away to the last-placed Salernitana.

The Rossoneri lost another two players to injuries, bumping the total amount of physical problems so far in the season to 31.

Fikayo Tomori was able to open the scoring in the middle of the first half, taking the best position in front of goal after a sharp pass from Rafael Leao and heading the ball home.

Right before the break Salernitana pulled one back as Fazio jumped the highest in the penalty box and left Maignan no chance to save. After the restart Salernitana made a comeback as they unleashed quick counter attack and Candreva shot in the right corner flew into the net for 2-1.

At the last minute of regular time Giroud headed the ball to Jovic, who connected well from a volley and equalized for the final 2-2, which leaves Milan four points away from the second-placed Juventus.
