Erick Pulgar scored an 85th-minute penalty to earn 10-man Fiorentina a 1-1 draw against AC Milan.

Bundesliga: Red-hot Haaland, Leipzig thrash Schalke
Erling Haaland scored his 40th goal of a stellar season to help Borussia Dortmund to a 2-0 victory over Werder Bremen.
Jadon Sancho laid on the opener for defender Dan-Axel Zagadou before Haaland fired his ninth goal in six Bundesliga games to ensure Dortmund remained four points behind champions Bayern Munich.
RB Leipzig remained on the coattails of Bayern with a 5-0 demolition of Schalke on Saturday.
Schalke goalkeeper Alex Nuebel completely misjudged a Marcel Sabitzer shot for the visitors’ lead after only 50 seconds, but they had to wait almost an hour to strike again with Timo Werner notching his 21st league goal.
Marcel Halstenberg then killed off any Schalke hopes with Leipzig’s third in the 68th before late goals from Angelino and Emil Forsberg completed Leipzig’s biggest away win ever in the Bundesliga to leave them a point behind Bayern.
Cologne deepened the sense of crisis at Hertha Berlin with a 5-0 thrashing of the club in their second outing since Jurgen Klinsmann’s resignation.
Hertha started ambitiously but forgot about defending, allowing Jhon Cordoba to score twice on the counter-attack inside 22 minutes, before they conceded a third in slapstick fashion with Cordoba setting up Florian Kainz, whose shot rebounded off Hertha goalkeeper Rune Jarstein and went in off the post.
Kainz added a fourth on the counter in the second half before Mark Uth completed the rout with a brilliant free-kick 20 minutes from time.
Elsewhere, Fortuna Dusseldorf boosted their survival hopes with a 2-0 victory over Freiburg, sealed by strikes in either half from Andre Hoffmann and Erik Thommy, while Lucas Ribeiro’s stoppage-time strike earned Hoffenheim a point at Borussia Monchengladbach, who lead through Matthias Ginter’s first-half strike.

Former Middlesbrough forward Martin Braithwaite made his debut after his controversial move from strugglers Leganes earlier this week and had a hand in Messi’s fourth and Arthur’s late goal that applied pressure on Real Madrid.
Real, who were replaced at the top by Barca, fell to a shock 1-0 defeat at Levante ahead of next week’s El Clasico.
Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard – who went off injured in the second half – and Casemiro spurned good chances before Jose Luis Morales fired a stunning effort into the top corner to leave Real two points behind their arch-rivals.
Struggling Leganes, who were not allowed to replace top goalscorer Braithwaite, fell to a 1-0 loss at 10-man Celta Vigo.
Filip Bradaric was sent off after just 21 minutes for the hosts, but Iago Aspas secured victory in the second half, which saw Celta climb out of the relegation zone.
