Serie A reports

LECCE 1 AC MILAN 1

Milan started the weekend on top but are now second behind Inter after Lecce substitute Andrea Esposito headed in a free kick deep into injury time.

Milan piled on huge pressure throughout the game with striker Marco Borriello somehow blasting over from almost underneath the bar and Kaka missing a great chance while Lecce's Guillermo Giacomazzi headed wide when it looked easier to score.

The visitors went ahead through Jeda's early header from a corner which sneaked into the net but Giuseppe Mascara equalised with a scuffed, angled shot eight minutes before the break.

Evergreen Juve forward Alessandro Del Piero marked his 34th birthday with a third goal from a free kick in a week to help Juve to victory in Domenico Di Carlo's first game in charge of second-from-bottom Chievo.

Sergio Floccari's penalty 13 minutes from time after Gianluca Comotto's handball gave the away side hope but it was too late.

Striker Diego Milito's second-half hat-trick gave surging Genoa another easy three points.

Giuseppe Sculli scored Genoa's third but bottom side Reggina were unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet and had Andrea Costa harshly dismissed for two yellow cards just before the break.
