AC Milan's Champions League hopes damaged after Udinese loss

AC Milan's misery continued at Udinese as their dreams of qualifying for the Champions League diminished on Sunday.

Milan were third last month, but have only won one of their last six league matches and have slipped seven points behind third-placed Napoli.

It started out so well for Milan as Giacomo Bonaventura chested down Suso's cross and smashed it in from close range to give his side the lead in the eighth minute.

However, Bonaventura went off injured in the 26th and Cyril Thereau leveled for Udinese five minutes later.

Rodrigo De Paul scored what was to prove the winner in the 73rd with a powerful effort into the bottom-left corner from just outside the area.

Milan felt De Paul should have been shown a straight red card for a challenge on Mattia De Sciglio moments earlier.
