Milan squad go over to away fans after second half capitulation in Lecce

AC Milan’s poor league form continued as they dropped points against Lecce this afternoon in a game that they led 2-0 at half-time.

Things were going well at the break after Olivier Giroud and Tijjani Reijnders scored to put Milan in a commanding position, but Nicola Sansone and Lameck Banda each netted inside three minutes to earn the home team a draw.

After the game the travelling Milan support made their displeasure known as the Rossoneri failed to take advantage of a winning position again and risk falling well behind in the title race.

The squad went over to acknowledge the away fans with some of them appearing apologetic after the second half collapse, which followed one against Napoli, in addition to 1-0 home losses against Juventus and Udinese.

Several players stood with hands on hips staring into the crowd, a scene not too dissimilar to the 2-0 loss against Spezia last season when the team had to answer to an unhappy fan base.
