Pulisic gets assist, misery for Musah in Milan draw with Fiorentina

AC Milan had to fight back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at home to Fiorentina in Serie A on Saturday.

The Rossoneri got off to a dreadful start as they found themselves 2-0 down inside 10 minutes. Milan defender Malick Thiaw bundled the ball into his own net in the seventh minute and Moise Kean volleyed in Fiorentina's second three minutes later.

United States international Yunus Musah was at fault for both goals and he was hauled off in the 23rd, moments after his compatriot Christian Pulisic combined with Tammy Abraham for the latter to pull one back for Milan.

Musah appeared distraught and was consoled by coach Sérgio Conceição.

"There are some individual errors, but not only in defense. I think the team made errors that were not forced by the opponent," Conceição told Sky Sport.

"There are some behaviours that we are trying to improve ... These are behaviors of football and football school that you learn as a kid.

"We also miss a lot of goals. We have to find this balance, because we create a lot. The approach was bad, it was not what we prepared."

His replacement, Luka Jović, scored the equalizer - against his old club - in the 64th.

Milan remained ninth, four points below eighth-placed Fiorentina, which was level on points with the two clubs immediately above it.

"We talk to each other, we prepare the games well." Conceição added. "The lads have given me some good signs in these three days."

"In the game against Inter the approach was different and for 90 minutes we were balanced.

"[There's] a set of characteristics that players must have and this mentality, personality to enter the game strong to defend this shirt must always be present."
