MILAN (Reuters) - Champions AC Milan were held to a 1-1 home draw by lowly Salernitana in Serie A on Monday, making it their third winless outing in a row in all competitions.
Milan took a 1-0 lead just before the interval when Olivier Giroud nodded in from a corner by midfielder Ismael Bennacer, leaving Salernitana keeper Guillermo Ochoa unmoved.
Salernitana levelled in the 61st minute through unmarked forward Boulaye Dia, who was set up inside the box by defender Domagoj Bradaric and made it 1-1 with a first-touch finish. Milan were desperate to regain the lead but despite their advantage in possession, and late chances by defender Alessandro Florenzi and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they were unable to change the scoreline.
Milan are fourth in the standings on 48 points, one behind third-placed Lazio and two adrift of Inter Milan in second. They are 20 points behind runaway title contenders Napoli. Salernitana are 16th on 26 points, as they added a precious point to further extend their lead over the relegation zone to seven.
