AC Milan scored an 87th-minute leveller against 10-man Sampdoria to keep their faint Serie A title hopes alive.

Substitute Jens Petter Hauge rescued Stefano Pioli's side, finding the bottom corner in the closing stages.

Sampdoria had opened the scoring through Fabio Quagliarella in the 57th minute before Adrien Silva was shown a second yellow minutes later.

Milan are now eight points off league leaders Inter Milan, having played one game more.

Inter defeated Bologna on Saturday.
