Football: Teenager saves Milan’s blushes

ROME: Teenager Stephan El Shaarawy saved AC Milan’s blushes as he came off the bench to snatch an equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Udinese in the Italian Serie A. The result left Milan just a point above the relegation zone. Coach Massimilano Allegri admitted the table did not make pleasant viewing. “It’s not nice looking at the table but the important thing is how you play,” he said. Meanwhile, Juventus drew 1-1 with Bologna. Napoli dropped off the top after losing 1-0 at Chievo. Atalanta moved off the bottom following a 2-1 win at Lecce.
