AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso was left unhappy with victory over Sassuolo.

Milan beat ten man Sassuolo 1-0 thanks to a Pol Lirola own goal.

Gattuso said, “We are not going through a positive period of form for the last two weeks, but we are still in a strong position. It's essential now that players, fans and media don't get ahead of themselves, because these performances are not good enough.

“We're just doing well defensively, but that's it and we seem a bit chaotic in possession. Sassuolo deserve credit for the way they pass the ball and force us to miss tackles.

“Having said that, apart from Jeremie Boga's attempt that hit the post, we didn't suffer that much. It's still a step back in terms of performance, though."
