Massimiliano Allegri insists AC Milan are back on track.

Allegri is picking up the pieces after their derby defeat last week.

"There's not much point talking now. Our objective has to be climbing the table without thinking about the first, second, third, fourth or fifth place," he told Milan Channel.

"We are in a position that nobody expected at the start of the campaign. We were naive when conceding some goals and in a few occasions also unlucky. We've got to improve our defending on set plays, but also be more consistent in front of goal. We haven't scored many compared to the chances created."
