Como’s Fabregas, Milan’s Allegri and an alleged pull of Saelemaekers’ shirt

AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri sent off in controversial Serie A draw but Como boss Cesc Fabregas is left apologising.

AC Milan’s 1-1 home draw with Como saw them drop seven points behind rivals Inter in the race for Italy’s Serie A title, but the result was even more infuriating for the Rossoneri and their supporters after a controversial incident involving a Milan counterattack and the opposition manager, Cesc Fabregas.

A coming together on the touchline, involving the former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder while the ball was in play, resulted in play being stopped and the Milan manager, Massimiliano Allegri, being sent off.

The overview of the incident was not completely clear at the time and continued into post-match interviews, where the allegations and accusations increased.
