AC Milan stretched their unbeaten streak to seven matches with a 1-0 win over Sampdoria.

The victory drew Milan level on points with sixth-placed Samp, and on course for a Europa League spot.

It was a nervous start for Milan, however, after Ricardo Rodriguez had a penalty saved by Sampdoria goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano six minutes in.

But Giacomo Bonaventura scored with a bouncing shot less than 10 minutes later.

Milan captain Leonardo Bonucci had another goal chalked off by the VAR for offside.
