Gennaro Gattuso believes the current penalty rules are not fit for purpose, but was angrier with Napoli for ‘scoring too few goals and conceding too many’ against Milan.

This was the first time Gattuso had faced his former club as a coach, having spent so many years there as both player and tactician, but he put emotions aside for an entertaining 2-2 draw.

“It was my first time facing Milan, the club that made me a player, a man and of course it was an emotional moment.”
