FT
Full-time: AC Milan come from behind to beat Fiorentina to move to within six points of leaders Inter. The Serie A title race is heating up!
90'+2
Just a minute since his introduction, Meite goes into the book. Guess why? Time wasting, of course.
90'
Milan sub: Meite comes on for Calhanoglu, who might be just the match winner. FOUR minutes will be added on here.
90'
It's getting a bit heated as Caceres shoves Dalot for taking too long to take a throw-in!
88'
Tomori has been excellent today, particularly in the second-half. One must wonder if Chelsea will use him next season. He is a real player.
87'
Bonaventura - against his former club - looks for the top corner with an ambitious shot from distance, but it rises just over the bar. Donnarumma looked like he had it covered.
84'
Milan are in possession, but this is a huge six minutes (plus injury-time) in their season.
80'
Milan sub: In a bid to protect their lead, Pioli replaces Diaz with Gabbia.
79'
Double Fiorentina sub: Pulgar and Martinez make way for Callejon and Kouame.
77'
Milan are sitting deep, waiting for the opportunity to catch Fiorentina on the counter-attack. Remember, if they can secure the win, they would close the gap on Inter to six points.

Could this prove to be the winner?
74'
Milan have registered three shots on target - and scored with all three. What a comeback, what a game! Just over 15 minutes left to play, can they hold on?
72'
GOAL! Fiorentina 2-3 AC Milan (Hakan Calhanoglu): A great finish from Calhanoglu and Milan are back in the lead! It's only a half chance, really, but he connects with a first-time shot and it nestles into the far corner. How significant could this prove to be in the title race?!

70'
Hernandez drives Milan forward and forces a corner, as the visitors' pick up the tempo in search of a winner. They have all the big men forward to contest the delivery, but the set-piece comes to nothing.
67'
Diaz chips a ball over the top for Hernandez to run onto, but he stabs just wide.
65'
Fiorentina boss Prandelli goes into the book for saying too much to the referee as tempers rise.
64'
Ibra hits the post, again! With a swing of the outside of his boot, Ibrahimovic's nothing effort almost creeps in, but he's denied by the woodwork - for the second time today!

Milan's half hearted appeals fall on deaf ears as Diaz goes down in the box under pressure from Caceres.
