ROME (Reuters) - AC Milan hoped to return to the summit of Serie A on Monday, but a day later their title challenge lies at a crossroads after a refereeing error cost them dearly in a shock defeat by Spezia.

The Rossoneri thought they had clinched the three points necessary to climb above Inter Milan into first place when Junior Messias swept home a shot in stoppage time at San Siro.

It was an extraordinary ending to a game in which Milan had missed a penalty, taken and surrendered the lead, and failed to find a way past inspired goalkeeper Ivan Provedel. Italian media reports said that the Italian Referees' Association also issued an apology for Serra's mistake, and the 39-year-old, who was left in tears, could now face a lengthy suspension.Milan must now shake off their feeling of hardship and re-focus for what could be the make-or-break moment of their season.
