Modric hooked at half-time as Milan fight back for draw

Luka Modric endured a tough 45 minutes before being substituted at half-time in Milan's 2-2 draw at Lazio.

What happened. Lazio took a two-goal lead through Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin, but Milan fought back with a quickfire brace from half-time substitute Diego Moreira to draw 2-2. Luka Modric was one of three players replaced at half-time by Ruben Amorim.

• Modric completed only 50% of his long passes and 38% of progressive passes.
• He lost the ball on five consecutive occasions at one stage.
• Amorim brought on Musah, Pulisic and Moreira to change the game.

Milan remain unbeaten but Amorim's bold half-time changes raise questions about Modric's role in high-intensity matches.
