Gonzalo Higuain scores his first for AC Milan in draw with Cagliari

Argentina forward Gonzalo Higuain scored his first goal for AC Milan to earn them a 1-1 draw at Cagliari.

Brazilian Joao Pedro, in his first game back after a six-month doping ban, gave Cagliari a fourth-minute lead with an untidy effort against Milan before Higuain, who left Juventus on loan shortly after Ronaldo's arrival, levelled with an opportunist goal 10 minutes after half-time.

Gennaro Gattuso's side are wallowing in 14th place in the Serie A table, two spots behind 12th place Cagliari.
