Verona kept its slim hopes of Serie A survival alive as Luca Siligardi's last-second free kick earned a 2-1 win over AC Milan on Monday.

Luca Siligardi kept Verona's hopes of staying in Serie A alive by crashing in a free kick with the last action of the game to hand his side a 2-1 win over AC Milan.

The bottom club came into Monday's clash at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi knowing anything other than a victory would see its three-year stay in the division come to an end.

And it looked as though it would fall short, with the score level at 1-1 after former Milan striker Giampaolo Pazzini had cancelled out Jeremy Menez's first league goal of the campaign.
