AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admitted relief after their 2-2 draw with Lecce.
Milan fought back from 2-0 down to earn the point.
“In the first half, we got everything wrong that it was possible to get wrong. We made entirely avoidable errors and it was an uphill struggle from there," Pioli told DAZN.
“We reacted well and could've won it at the end, but we must do much better."
Rafael Leao and Davide Calabria struck for Milan.
“I could've changed many other players at the break. I tried to change so we could improve our work down the flanks, so I removed Theo and Alexis Saelemaekers.
“I expected a different start to the game, considering we were coming off some disappointing results. We should've had the quality and sharpness to control the situation better, which is what we did in the second half."
