Apologetic Donnarumma won't let head drop after Milan howler

The goalkeeper's error gifted Pescara a goal in AC Milan's 1-1 draw, but the teenage sensation is not dwelling on his howler

AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma vowed not to let his head drop after his costly error in Sunday's Serie A draw at Pescara.

After making his first senior start in Italy's 2-1 win over Netherlands on Tuesday, the 18-year-old sensation was at fault having misjudged a backpass for Pescara's opener in the 1-1 draw against the struggling hosts.

Donnarumma allowed Gabriel Paletta's pass to escape him, the ball squeezing under his foot and over the line in the 12th minute before Milan team-mate Mario Pasalic equalised four minutes prior to the break.
