  • Juventus secured a vital three points against AC Milan at the San Siro
  • Midfielder Manuel Locatelli scored the only goal against his former club
  • Massimiliano Allegri had a moment of insanity during the game

Massimiliano Allegri was not a man to move close to in the final moments of Juventus' win over AC Milan as he marauded around the touchline, kicking everything in his path.

Juventus secured a vital three points against Milan after former Rossoneri, Manuel Locatelli, scored a screamer to help the Old Lady move to within two points of the top of the table.

Milan ended the game with 10 men after Malick Thiaw was shown a straight red card in the first half after a professional last-man foul on Moise Kean to deny a goalscoring opportunity.

Per IFTV, Locatelli's goal came precisely seven years after he scored the winner for Milan against Juventus at the San Siro and within two minutes of each other.

Max Allegri loses cool

As seen in a video making rounds on social media, Juve boss Allegri was caught in a frantic mode on the touchline. The Italian removed and flung his jacket and tie, kicking everything in his path.

He was marauding all over the touchline and screaming in the direction of his players and attempted to enter the pitch twice before he was shown a yellow card for his troubles, per TNT Sports.

As reported by Football Italia, he explained his reaction was due to his team's gameplay as they were allowing too much space and time on the ball for their opponents despite a man advantage.

“When you have the extra man, you do not make those passes in tight channels, you do not dribble, do not take men on. You don’t force the moves, you go for the guaranteed ones,” he said.
“These are things we need to work on, as we have some lads without much experience and playing at San Siro was a big test for them.”

Mourinho sent off against Monza

Max Allegri was not the only dramatic manager in the Serie A this weekend. Sports Brief reported that Mourinho was red-carded against Monza for his touchline antics.

The Special One made a crying gesture and insulted his opponent's manager and bench, which got him a straight red in the final moments, and he will now miss the game against Inter Milan.
