AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admitted frustration after their 2-2 draw with Bologna.

Josh Zirkzee had Bologna ahead before Ruben Loftus-Cheek's brace was canceled out by Riccardo Orsolini. Milan also twice failed from the spot via Olivier Giroud and Theo Hernandez.

"We leave with regrets that we did not win the game," Pioli told Sky Italia.

“It's true that there were two missed penalties, we had lots of chances and allowed Bologna a few too, but we had still been able to take the lead anyway and were ready to take the result home.

“We cannot let the concentration and intensity drop in defence that late in the day, the way we did on that penalty. It's a pity, because we fought hard and also had a lot of quality to create all those opportunities.

“Considering the way it was going and to keep the positive streak going, it would've been an important victory.

"We are not happy, naturally, as many things would've been achieved with a win tonight. It would've been our fifth straight win, seven points more than at this stage last season, hitting the same points tally after 22 rounds that we had when we won the Scudetto.

“There are positives, but we proved again that there are areas where we need to work harder."
