AC Milan boss Rino Gattuso says Lucas Paqueta will learn from his dismissal during victory over Bologna.

Paqueta was sent off or slapping the referee's hand away.

Gattuso said, “Paqueta is young and I don't think he even realised what he was doing, putting his hands on the referee. It irritates me and we have to improve that aspect too, but he's young and naïve.

“We have to think only of ourselves. We ended the game not with 10 men, but seven, as there were several with cramp and who hadn't played 90 minutes in a long time.

“If you look at our squad, we're giving our all at this moment. We're not in the best shape right now, that's obvious, but with all our injuries, the change of club ownership and everything else we've been through, we're doing all we can.

“I want to thank the 50,000 fans who showed up tonight, as I thought they were going to jeer us, but they cheered the team on from start to finish."
