AC Milan defender Simon Kjaer feels they were robbed of victory at Manchester United on Thursday night.

The Dane scored a late equaliser in Milan's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16.

"This is an important result, we played a great game. We showed personality and I think we dominated," the defender told Sky Italia.

"We are aware of their quality, and we found the spaces to play our footballer with patience. We showed personality, now there is another challenging game, but today we were strong."

Franck Kessié had had a goal disallowed for a handball in the first half.

"I spoke to him and I think it was a mistake to disallow the goal. It's a pity that could have changed the game," Kjaer commented.
