Hauge's late goal rescues a point for Milan. Sampdoria dominated the first half but couldn't find a breakthough: Gabbiadini and Thorsby were denied by fine Donnarumma saves, while Damsgaard missed a glaring opportunity when clean through. However, the visitors eventually took the lead during a mad period in the second half. First, Quagliarella opened the scoring with an inspired chip from 30 yards. But moments later, Sampdoria were reduced to 10 men, when Silva picked up a second yellow. Milan pushed forward in search of an equaliser and it eventually arrived late on when Hauge curled in from 12 yards. There was still time for Kessie to hit the post as Milan went agonisingly close to a winner, but the visitors held on for an impressive draw.
The result means that Milan cut Inter's lead to five points - but with two games in hand, Inter are now in an even more commanding position. Sampdoria, meanwhile, remain 10th.
That's all for now though, goodbye!

Milan know they have to win today to put the pressure on leaders, Inter, and you'd expect them to push for an opening goal in the second half. 13:23
It's 0-0 at half time, after a promising display from Sampdoria. The visitors dominated that first half but lacked a clinical edge to take the lead. Gabbiadini and Thorsby both forced Donnarumma into fine saves to protect Milan's clean sheet and Damsgaard wasted a clear opportunity when he was clean through. Milan lacked fluency at the other end and only really threatened with a tenuous penalty appeal late in the half. 13:22
