Sharjah 24 – AFP: AC Milan overcame having to play with 10 men for over an hour to beat Udinese 1-0 on Saturday, a dramatic win which moved the seven-time European champions two points behind Serie A leaders Napoli.
Paulo Fonseca's side are third and level on 14 points with second-placed Inter Milan after surviving two offside scares, including one deep in stoppage time, to claim a hard-fought win at the San Siro.
Samuel Chukwueze's 13th-minute strike looked like being the first of a comfortable win but ended up being the winning goal as Milan held on for the points.
Their task was made difficult by Tijjani Reijnders being sent off in the 29th minute for a clumsy foul on Sandi Lovric who would have been clean through on goal had the Netherlands midfielder not clipped his heels.
