Sinisa Mihajlovic was furious with official Paolo Valeri after the 1-1 draw at San Siro, which saw Nigel de Jong sent off.

“Milan could’ve won anyway even without these issues. We too can complain about a penalty not given on Luca Toni in the first half.

“Hellas fully deserved this draw, proving we can fight it out with anyone,” Del Neri told Sky Sport Italia.

“This game was extremely difficult and so hard to come away with a result, but we had to build on what we did last week.

“We showed courage and proved that we can suffer under pressure, run harder than our opponents. We have all the characteristics needed to survive in Serie A.

“This team is versatile, eager to work and reactive. We conceded a goal today and we scored one too.

“Milan were fairly static in defence, so Toni had chances to break through and hold up the ball for others coming forward.”
