MILAN, Italy, Dec 14 (Reuters) - AC Milan had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Sassuolo at San Siro on Sunday after Armand Lauriente's late strike for the visitors ensured the Serie A title race remains finely poised.

Milan, who are top with 32 points from 15 matches, have a one-point lead over defending champions Napoli, who visit 12th-placed Udinese later on Sunday. Sassuolo sit ninth on 21 points.
