Mario Balotelli missed a penalty as AC Milan, jeered off the field after a dismal first half, drew 3-3 with lowly Frosinone in Serie A on Sunday while Palermo’s late survival bid continued with a 2-0 win over Sampdoria.

Juventus, who clinched a fifth successive Serie A title last Monday, refused to let up and notched their 25th win in 26 league games by beating lowly Carpi 2-0.

Frosinone, who like Carpi are playing in the top flight for the first time, are four points adrift of safety in 19th.

Milan’s season has gone from bad to worse since they fired coach Sinisa Mihajlovic three weeks ago and reached a new low when they lost to bottom-of-the-table Verona on Monday. It looked even worse at halftime at San Siro as Frosinone led 2-0 with goals from Luca Paganini and Oliver Kragl but Milan, under interim coach Christian Brocchi, hit back after the break with the help of two penalties awarded for handball. 

Balotelli squandered the first at the start of the half but Jeremy Menez made no mistake in the second minute of stoppage time to rescue a point for the hosts. — Reuters
