WATCH: Gigio Donnarumma Denied Dramatic Last Minute Equaliser

The Milan keeper came so close to making himself even more of a hero

Since debuting for AC Milan last season, there hasn't been a whole lot that Gianluigi Donnarumma hasn't been able to do. The teenager has made a string of match winning saves and shuts out penalties for fun and last night against Napoli, he came close to scoring his first goal in Rossoneri colours.

Milan succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to Napoli at the San Siro, last night, although after nine minutes it appeared as though the scoreline was going to be much more devastating for Donnarumma and co, being that they found themselves 2-0 down thanks to goals from Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Maria Callejon.

Let's hope Donnarumma doesn't suffer the same fate as some of these 'wonderkids'...

However, Milan rallied and a Juraj Kucka strike brought Vincenzo Montella's team back into the game. However, an equaliser was not to be found, despite Donnarumma's injury time efforts.

The teenage sensation proved to be almost as effective in the opposition box as he is in his own, guiding a header on target, but being denied by Pepe Reina.

It would have been the perfect way to mark Donnarumma's 50th(!) Serie A start for Milan, but alas, a more experienced head prevailed on this occasion.
