MILAN (AP) --- AC Milan and Juventus risk losing their Champions League places
as city rival Inter Milan closes in on the Serie A title
Milan was reduced to 10 men and beaten 2-0 at Sassuolo on Sunday for its fourth
loss in seven matches. Then Juventus drew 1-1 with relegated Hellas Verona.
Inter, meanwhile, can seal the title with a draw against visiting Parma later.
Third-placed Milan was left only two points ahead of fourth-placed Juventus,
which is just three points ahead of fifth-placed Como, which is trying to get
into the top four and secure a Champions League spot.
Three rounds remain in the Italian league.
Domenico Berardi scored early on for Sassuolo for his 12th career goal against
Milan and Fikayo Tomori was sent off before Armand Lauriente doubled the
advantage after the break.
Milan has scored only one goal in its last five matches.
Christian Pulisic, who came on in the second half, extended his goalless streak
to a career-high 17 league matches.
Vlahovic equalizes for Juventus
Juventus also dropped points at home against Verona but extended its unbeaten
run to nine matches.
Kieron Bowie put Verona ahead after intercepting a pass from Juventus defender
Gleison Bremer then Dusan Vlahovic equalized for Juventus with a free kick
around Verona's wall for his first goal since October.
Also, Bologna was held 0-0 by Cagliari in a regional derby.
