AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli was proud of his players in defeat to Juventus.
Milan remain top after Inter Milan were beaten by Sampdoria earlier in the day.
“We have to tip our hats and give credit to our opponents for managing to get back in front," Pioli told Sky Sport Italia.
“We did what we needed to, created chances and inevitably allowed some too, but after going behind for the second time, it became more difficult to get back into it.
“We'll evaluate a few defensive situations where we could've done better, but the team approached this game with generosity, determination and concentration.
“Their goalkeeper made a great save on Diogo Dalot when it was 1-1, then they went 2-1 up and it became an uphill struggle."
Pioli added: “The lads had their heads down in the dressing room and were disappointed, but in a way it was healthy for us to experience defeat, as we hadn't felt that for a while.
“I gave them a pat on the back, said they ought to be proud of what they achieved in the circumstances. We proved that we are a strong team tonight."
