(Reuters) - AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf praised his players for continuing with their Serie A match after a banana was thrown onto the pitch during their 2-1 defeat at Atalanta on Sunday.

"I can only compliment my players who continued to play and got on with their jobs. Hopefully, they will find the culprit and do what has to be done," the Dutchman told reporters.
