AC Milan manager Sinisa Mihajlovic has admitted that his team were fortunate to escape with a point from their Serie A meeting with Atalanta BC on Saturday evening.

The Rossoneri were indebted to 16-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who produced a number of saves to help his team earn a goalless draw at San Siro.

"We were certainly lucky to get a point, as we were not the same side that beat Lazio," Mihajlovic told Sky Sport Italia.

"I don't want to look for excuses, but we were missing Giacomo Bonaventura, Andrea Bertolacci and Alex, who have been some of our best players until now.

"When you don't win, it's important not to lose. Now the international break will help us to recover some injured players and recuperate the energy we've used up during this period."

Milan have now gone unbeaten in their previous five league matches.
