Niang: Donnarumma saved Milan

AC Milan forward M'Baye Niang hailed 16-year-old teammate Gianluigi Donnarumma following the team's goalless draw with Atalanta.

M'Baye Niang heaped praise on teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, insisting his teammate's heroic display was the reason AC Milan escaped with a point against Atalanta.

Donnarumma, 16, produced a performance beyond his years to thwart Atalanta as Milan played out a goalless draw in Serie A action on Saturday.

The Italy youth international made a number of saves in the second half, namely to deny Luca Cigarini, who drew a fine block from the youngster before firing the rebound over the crossbar.
