AC Milan manager Filippo Inzaghi has criticised the performance of the match officials following his team's 3-2 defeat against Sassuolo this afternoon.

The Rossoneri were furious that a goal was given when Domenico Berardi's shot did not appear to cross the whole of the line, and they finished the match with nine men following second-half red cards for Giacomo Bonaventura and Suso.

"Of course your heads drop when you concede a goal that didn't actually go in," Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia. "The second goal might've been offside too, so it becomes difficult to react in those circumstances. The team did well to get back to 2-0, then the moment we had the game in hand, Bonaventura was sent off.

"His first booking was non-existent and the second was very dubious. When you're down to 10 men for half an hour in 35 degree heat, it becomes difficult. I find it hard to even comment on a game like this. We should talk about football, but to be honest it's not easy in these circumstances.

"There were two dubious incidents and both of them went against us. If Bonaventura had stayed on the pitch, it would've been a different game. Nonetheless, this is the attitude we have to show. We wanted to win today and unfortunately sometimes circumstances are out of your control."

Milan have now lost 12 games in Serie A this season and are unable to mathematically qualify for the Europa League.
