AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri stormed off the field in a fit of rage after being sent off during the win over Lazio.
Milan eventually won 1-0 to go top of the league at least for the time being, but the drama spilled over towards the end of the five minutes added time when Lazio players surrounded the referee asking for a penalty.

A VAR check commenced and Allegri clearly presumed a spot kick was going to be awarded for handball against Strahinja Pavlovic, so his protests and some verbals aimed at the officials got him a red card.
He then got into an altercation with a Lazio coach who was also given a red, before discovering on his way back to the dressing room that a penalty was not in fact given.

Allegri’s explanation
After the game, Allegri spoke to Sky and he was asked what he said to Giuseppe Collu in order to earn a very quick red card.
“I just told him, ‘Damn, every time you’re here, sh** always happens’. Because he was the referee against Cremonese (laughs). I didn’t mean to offend him at all,” he said.
I like how Max is getting angry
I guess his comment affected how the ref viewed the replays and made his decision.
Good one Mister
