Milan got off to the worst possible start, finding themselves 2-0 down inside ten minutes following goals from Andrea Pinamonti and Armand Lauriente.
Milan pulled one back in stunning fashion in the 20th minute, when Rafael Leao cut inside and beat two defenders before firing between the legs of another and into the bottom corner.
Lauriente restored relegation-threatened Sassuolo’s two-goal lead early in the second half when he was left unmarked and had the time and space to control a cross and drive it past stand-in Milan goalkeeper Marco Sportiello.
Luka Jovic reduced the deficit on the hour mark and Milan - who also had two efforts chalked off for offside - levelled six minutes from time through substitute Noah Okafor.
