Giroud nodded home a cross from Rafael Leão to give Milan the lead in the 17th minute, butit took only seven minutes for the hosts to level from the penalty spot through midfielder Soule after a penalty was awarded for handball by Leao.

But their hopes of beating Milan for the first time in the Italian top flight were cut short when defender Matteo Gabbia equalised with a header.
