STUNNED IN SIENA

Milan fell to a 2-1 defeat at Siena to put a dent in the title chase with Juventus who moved to three points ahead at the top of the table following victory over Lecce. Coach Carlo Ancelotti had called for nine points from the next three games and Milan certainly enjoyed plenty of possession against a home side that were very dangerous on the break. Sheva had an early goal ruled out for adjudged offside while Nelson Dida was forced to watch an Igor Tudor header hit the bar. The Rossoneri had chances throughtout the second-half as Sheva saw a shot blocked and Kakhaber Kaladze went close with a header. However, Hernan Crespo made the breakthrough on 63 minutes, scoring from a tight angle, for the Argentinian’s 11th goal in the league. Just as it looked as if the game was there for the taking, Enrico Chiesa drew the Tuscans level and with time running out, Francesco Cozza headed in the winner at the end of a quick counter-attack.
