Milan and Atalanta play out a 1-1 draw at San Siro. Zapata equalised for the visitors 20 minutes after Calhanoglu had fired them in front with an impressive free-kick, with Malinovskiy missing a penalty that he had won in between those goals. Both teams pressed for a winner in the second half but there was no way through.
Atalanta's unbeaten run stretches to a 16th league game but this draw leaves them five points adrift of leaders Juventus, who can win the title if they beat Sampdoria in their game in hand on Sunday. Next up for Gasperini's side is a trip to Parma on Tuesday, a day before Milan - who missed out on the chance to usurp Roma into fifth place - head to Sampdoria.
That is all for today's live text coverage. Thanks for joining, goodbye!

Statistiche
90'+3'
FULL-TIME: MILAN 1-1 ATALANTA23:36
90'+2'
Muriel looks as though he is trying to catch out Donnarumma with his free-kick from 30 yards out. De Roon swoops in to try to get a touch in front of the Milan keeper but fails to do so.23:36
90'+1'
A member of Milan's backroom staff, though to be the club medic, was shown a red card for protesting the Ibrahimovic penalty shout a little too strongly.23:34
90'
Colley is on for Gomez in the last of Atalanta's changes. A final roll of the dice for Gasperini.23:34
89'
PENALTY SHOUT! A cross is played into the box by Laxalt but Ibrahimovic is unable to get on the end of it. The Milan striker claims he was pulled down by Djimsiti but the referee is having none of it.23:33
88'
Atalanta have shared 42 draws with Milan - more than against any other Serie A opponent. This latest tussle looks to be heading the same way, with just two minutes of normal time to play.23:31
87'
BLOCKED! Muriel has a sight of goal from 20 yards out. He pulls the trigger and the shot deflects behind for another corner, which Ibrahimovic once again gets to first.23:30
86'
Castagne goes through the back of Castillejo and the Milan substitute is in a fair bit of pain. The referee decides not to award a free-kick but the ball is put out for Castillejo to get back to his feet.23:29
84'
Somewhat unsurprisingly, the tempo of the game has dropped massively over the last few minutes. Castagne plays in an angled pass but Laxalt is waiting near the penalty spot to head well clear. 23:27
82'
Milan have been tough to break down in this second half in particular. The visitors are not sitting back on a point, though - they want to make it four victories in a row.23:25
80'
A cross into the box from the left has a little too much on it for Leao, who cannot make clean contact with his head.23:23
78'
It is Atalanta's turn to attack in this frenetic contest. A cross is played into the middle and Ibrahimovic is there waiting to head clear.23:22
77'
Caldara fouls Ibrahimovic 30 yards from goal and Bonaventura elects to take on the set-piece. The attempt is rather poor, with the ball trickling wide of the target.23:21
75'
This match really is end-to-end now, with both teams seeking a winning goal. Castillejo is unable to find the target with a volley following a poor clearance from Atalanta.23:18
74'
OFF THE POST! Leao carries the ball half the length of the pitch as Milan hit their opponents on the counter. He has plenty of options but it is rather crowded on the edge of the box and the pass to Bonaventura is behind his team-mate. The midfielder still manages to get a shot away and it hits the base of the post.23:17
72'
JUST WIDE! So close to a second goal for Atalanta! Gomez brings the ball between two players and it runs loose to Zapata, who bends a shot wide of the far post. It may have hit Kjaer on the arm on its way through.23:19
70'
De Roon blasts over the bar from a long way out. There is still plenty of time for one of these sides to find a winning goal.23:13
69'
Freuler is off and Pasalic on in this latest Atalanta change.23:13
69'
Castagne is on for Gosens as the visitors respond with a couple of substitutions of their own.23:13
69'
The lively Saelemaekers is replaced by Castillejo with around 20 minutes to go.23:13
68'
Saelemaekers is slipped in down the right but cannot pick out a team-mate with his cutback. Atalanta are really penned in now and could do with making some substitutions of their own.23:11
66'
Saelemaekers has really grown into the match over the last five minutes. He is picking up the ball in dangerous positions but Atalanta are defending well.23:08
65'
Pioli's triple substitution has worked well. Atalanta have lost their rhythm and it is now the hosts who are looking the more threatening in the final third of the field.23:07
63'
Leao puts his fresh legs to good use but cannot quite pick out Saelemaekers in the centre, with Gollini getting to it first.23:06
61'
Biglia, who was cautioned after giving away a penalty in the first half, makes way for Krunic.23:05
61'
Leao takes over from Rebic in the second of Milan's changes.23:04
61'
Pioli makes a triple substitution with an hour played. Bonaventura is on for Calhanoglu in the first of the changes.23:04
60'
GOOD EFFORT! Gomez wraps his boot around a difficult chance on the edge of the box but cannot quite find the target. The visitors are looking far more likely to score the game's third goal on the basis of the last 10 minutes.23:03
59'
Gomez swings in a corner from the left that is missed by Zapata. Muriel helps it on but the shooting opportunity does not present itself and Milan eventually clear their lines.23:01
57'
Muriel, who scored Atalanta's winner against Bologna last time out, comes on for Malinovskiy.23:00
56'
Kessie lunges in on De Roon with both feet off the ground. Despite strong complaints from the Atalanta midfielder, the referee Daniele Dover does not reach into his pocket.23:00
55'
Donnarumma gets fingertips to a right-sided cross to stop Malinovskiy from heading in at the back post. Atalanta are starting to turn the screw.22:57
54'
SHOT! Atalanta patiently play the ball around in the final third. De Roon has the option of an overlap down the right but instead brings it inside and fires a deflected shot off target. The corner comes to little.22:57
52'
Malinovskiy wriggles free of one challenge and carries the ball forward, but Calhanoglu does brilliantly to slide in and win it back for his side with a clean tackle.22:54
51'
Since the return of Serie A in June, Atalanta and Milan are the two teams with the highest points-per-game on average (2.6).22:52
49'
Djimsiti underhits a back-pass to Gollini. Rebic closes down the goalkeeper and catches his opponent when sliding in.22:51
48'
Ibrahimovic knocks the ball into Rebic's path and the Croatia international looks to be in, only to miscontrol the ball.22:49
47'
Kessie's attempted throughball for Ibrahimovic from deep has too much pace on it and rolls through for Gollini.22:49
46'
RESTART! Milan get the second half up and running at San Siro. 22:48
46'
Atalanta have made a change at the break, with Toloi - who was on a booking - being replaced by Sutalo.22:47
The first half was pretty frenetic at times, with Atalanta leaving themselves exposed at the back when throwing bodies forward. Possession was split pretty much down the middle in the opening 45 minutes, but the visitors managed double the number of shots on target - four to Milan's six.22:47
In-form Milan and Atalanta go into the interval all square after a lively first half at San Siro. Malinovskiy had a penalty saved by Donnarumma after Calhanoglu had curled in the opener for the hosts, but Zapata struck 11 minutes before half-time to level things up.22:35
45'+1'
HALF-TIME: MILAN 1-1 ATALANTA22:32
45'
SAVE! Atalanta's players swarm around the ball in the Milan box. It falls to Freuler to shoot but his effort is easily dealt with by Donnarumma.22:36
44'
Kessie passes the ball straight to an opposition player under little pressure. The first-time pass towards Zapata is overhit and Donnarumma comes out to collect.22:31
43'
Rebic slips at the worst possible moment inside the Atalanta box. Up the other end, Zapata is picked out in the penalty area but is forced away from goal by Kjaer - good defending.22:30
42'
Rebic has space to run into behind the Atalanta defence, which is incredibly high at the moment, but the referee whistles for Ibrahimovic's offside infringement.22:29
40'
Atalanta press Milan high up the pitch and force their opponents all the way back to Donnarumma. The hosts have not really created much, with Ibrahimovic having just 17 touches in the first half.22:27
38'
Toloi fouls Milan attacker Rebic and is shown the second yellow card of the contest.22:25
36'
BRAVE GOALKEEPING! Atalanta's tail is up following that Zapata equaliser. Zapata tries to squeeze the ball past Donnarumma after again getting away from his man, but the Milan keeper gets down to block the shot and takes a boot to his face for his troubles.22:24
34'
GOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!! MILAN 1-1 ATALANTA!! Freuler wins the ball back for Atalanta and charges for the box after playing a quick one-two. His shot ricochets off Gabbia and into the path of Zapata, who holds off Calabria to poke in the leveller.
Milan are looking dangerous on the break. Atalanta are committing bodies forward in search of an equaliser but are leaving gaps open at the back, which Ibrahimovic is unable to make the most of on this occasion.22:22
31'
OFFSIDE Ibrahimovic plays a smart pass in behind for Calhanoglu. He is through on goal but lacks pace and opts to shoot from outside the box before he is caught. The effort crashes back off the bar, but the offside flag would have denied him anyway.22:17
29'
Rebic is unable to find Ibrahimovic with a cross from the left. The game has become very stretched since the Atalanta penalty.22:16
28'
There is a debate over whether the penalty should have been awarded in the first place. Atalanta will argue that Biglia should have been sent off for his challenge, though.22:44
26'
Malinovskiy won the penalty but the spot-kicked lacked any real conviction and Donnarumma was equal to it. 22:13
26'
PENALTY SAVED!! Malinovskiy sends the penalty down the middle and Donnarumma stands firm to make the save!22:13
25'
Confirmation of the yellow card for Biglia, who caught Malinovskiy with his studs. The Milan midfielder is perhaps fortunate not to have been shown a straight red.22:12
24'
PENALTY TO ATALANTA! The referee watched back the Biglia challenge on Malinovskiy and has pointed to the penalty spot! The Milan midfielder is also cautioned for catching his opponent when he was on the floor.22:44
23'
Malinovskiy turns Gabbia 25 yards from goal, carries the ball into the box and is sent crashing to the floor. Biglia unintentionally stamps on the Atalanta attacker, but the referee does not award a penalty for either incident.22:18
21'
Play is constantly being broken up by niggling fouls at the moment. Atalanta have been unable to find any rhythm to their game.22:07
19'
SAVE! Laxalt is encouraged to shoot from 25 yards. The ball goes through a sea of bodies and Gollini gets the smallest of touches to it, helping the ball past the far post.22:05
17'
Atalanta certainly know how to find the net so Gasperini, banned from the touchline today, will not be panicking too much. However, his side are looking very sloppy in possession, with a couple of passes going straight out of play.22:04
15'
That was a great goal from a player in fine form. Atalanta may have looked the livelier of the two sides but Calhanoglu's free-kick has given Milan the lead.22:02
14'
GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! MILAN 1-0 ATALANTA!! This is sublime from Calhanoglu! Rebic nutmegs Toloi before being fouled by his opponent. Calhanoglu looks certain to cross the free-kick from the left but instead whips it into the far corner of the net, with Gollini unable to get a hand to it.
Atalanta have scored 95 goals in their 35 games played so far this season, an average of 2.7 per game. Should they maintain this average, they would end on 103 goals, which would be their best goal scoring performance in Serie A since 1950-51.22:01
11'
Atalanta have turned the ball over high up the pitch early on a few times already. The visitors have settled the better and look as though they have goals in them today - as ever!21:57
10'
WIDE! Gomez charges through the middle and, like De Roon a little earlier, has plenty of time to set himself for the shot. The attempt from 22 yards is dragged wide of the post.21:54
8'
Atalanta win a free-kick wide on the left. The ball is sent into the middle by Gomez and Zapata gets to it first, but he is unable to keep the header on target.21:54
7'
It is the home team's turn to knock the ball around now, having already been given a little scare by their opponents. Possession is turned over but Malinovskiy is unable to square the ball to Zapata in the middle.21:52
5'
SHOT! De Roon is given time and space to carry the ball forward and unleash a shot from more than 25 yards out. He gets plenty of power behind it and Donnarumma is a little worried, but the ball skims the side-netting on its way behind.21:50
3'
The visitors have bossed possession in the early stages. They have scored an unrivalled 95 Serie A goals this term but are in no rush to get the ball forward just yet.21:49
1'
KICK-OFF! Atalanta, who can climb to within three points of leaders Juventus with a victory here, get us under way at San Siro.21:46
Milan have won only one of their last seven home meetings with Atalanta, failing to score in five of those matches. Gian Piero Gasperini's side won the reverse fixture 5-0 in December and are looking to win both games against today's opponents in a single Serie A season for the first time since 2007-08.21:27
Atalanta, who are without banned head coach Gasperini today, show three changes from the 1-0 win against Bologna on Tuesday. Castagne drops out, with his place at right wing-back taken by Hateboer, while Caldara and Malinovskiy are in for benched pair Palomino and Pasalic.23:11
Milan show four changes to their starting line-up on the back of the win over Sassuolo three days ago. Theo Hernandez and Ismael Bennacer as suspended, so in come Laxalt and Biglia, while Gabbia takes over from the injured Alessio Romagnoli. The other change is at right-back, with Calabria in for the absent Andrea Conti.21:35
Subs: Mario Pasalic, Lennart Czyborra, Bosko Sutalo, Raoul Bellanova, Marco Sportiello, Timothy Castagne, Ebrima Colley, Jose Luis Palomino, Francesco Rossi, Jacopo Da Riva, Adrien Tameze, Luis Muriel.21:25
ATALANTA XI (3-4-2-1): Pierluigi Gollini; Rafael Toloi, Mattia Caldara, Berat Djimsiti; Hans Hateboer, Marten de Roon, Remo Freuler, Robin Gosens; Alejandro Gomez (c), Ruslan Malinovskiy; Duvan Zapata.21:25
Subs: Rade Krunic, Antonio Donnarumma, Asmir Begovic, Lucas Paqueta, Leo Duarte, Giacomo Olzer, Marco Brescianini, Rafael Leao, Daniel Maldini, Samu Castillejo, Giacomo Bonaventura, Lorenzo Colombo.21:22
MILAN XI (4-2-3-1): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer (c), Matteo Gabbia, Diego Laxalt; Franck Kessie, Lucas Biglia; Alexis Saelemaekers, Hakan Calhanoglu, Ante Rebic; Zlatan Ibrahimovic.21:20
Sixth-placed Milan also enter this fixture in good form having won three in a row and gone nine without a defeat in the league. Stefano Pioli's side, who beat Sassuolo 2-1 in their most recent outing, are within two points of Roma in fifth, which would secure automatic qualification to next season's Europa League group stage.21:18
Atalanta enter this game unbeaten in 15 matches and are second in the table, still six points adrift of Juventus following the reigning champions' shock 2-1 loss at Udinese on Thursday. Indeed, victory for Gian Piero Gasperini's men here may well revive the title race, which would have ended yesterday had Juve won.21:28
