Vincenzo Montella attributed AC Milan's defeat against Juventus to fatigue and the quality of Gonzalo Higuain, claiming his side have consistently matched top-class opponents this season.
The Rossoneri are now four without a win in all competitions at San Siro, while they have lost to four of Serie A's top six - Juve, Inter, Roma and Lazio.
But Montella is adamant Milan have not deserved to be on the end of such a poor series of results and pointed to multiple factors for the 2-0 reverse to the Bianconeri as pressure increased on his position.
"It was a very balanced match, one we played on even terms with Juventus, but the difference was made by Higuain with two great goals," he told Mediaset Premium.
