AC Milan were shocked 0-2 at home by Palermo in a Serie A game last night, while league leaders Inter Milanu00a0 were held to a 1-1 draw at Atalanta.

AC went into their meeting with Palermo on the back of five straight Serie A victories but were undone by two goals early in the second half that owed much to the brilliance of Fabrizio Miccoli.

Miccoli cut in from the left flank before bending a fine finish around Dida in the 49th minute

He then provided the spark for the visitors' second goal shortly after the hour mark when he sped down the left before finding Javier Pastore, who in turn fed Mark Bresciano to score from close range.

"Palermo deserve to have won," said Milan coach Leonardo. "We didn't play badly, but coping with fatigue is never easy. Today we didn't have the rhythm of our recent matches in our legs," added Leonardo.
