Milan suffer another Serie A stumble

AC Milan continued their early season stumble through Serie A with a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Parma on Saturday.

Milan were targeting the win that would have hoisted them up to second place behind league leaders Roma and ahead of Inter Milan, Napoli and Juventus - all of whom play on Sunday.

Clarence Seedorf opener the scoring for Carlo Ancelotti's side in the 44th minute, but the curse of the late equaliser struck the European champions once again when Andrea Pisanu levelled in the 73rd minute.

Milan now boast an unenvious three draws from four league games so far.

It took a late equaliser from Alessandro Nesta last week away to Siena to rescue a point, and the week before Fiorentina claimed a share of the points at the San Siro.

Ancelotti's side remain in sixth position, three points behind Roma who will look to maintain their impressive defensive record in Sunday's match of the day against Juventus at the Olympic stadium.

Roma have won all three of their games, scoring seven goals and conceding none so far but that statistic could be tested to the full by the Turin-based side, who have scored eight goals in three matches.

Earlier Saturday Udinese gave their early season hopes a boost with a 2-0 win over Reggina, courtesy of brace in the sixth and 62nd minutes from Antonio Di Natale.
