| Torino vs AC Milan: Milan lose ground as Miranchuk looms above the Rossoneri. |
AC Milan suffered their first away defeat in 17 matches, losing 2-1 to Torino after conceding two goals in the space of two first half minutes.
Looking to break into the top half of the table, Torino perhaps stunned their visitors by playing on the front foot from the off.
And in dramatic fashion, the hosts doubled their lead only moments later through Aleksei Miranchuk, who collected a loose ball and stabbed his shot past Ciprian Tătăruşanu to extend the home side’s advantage and leave the reigning champions shellshocked.
While Milan looked for all the world to struggle in their attempts to find a way back into the game, they were gifted a golden opportunity to take a foothold when Torino Vanja Milinković-Savić came rushing off his line to collect the ball, but instead collided with his teammate, allowing Junior Messias to curl his shot into an empty net and cut the Torino lead in half with just over 20 minutes remaining.
As they came into the night having not scored against Milan in Serie A in the previous 464 minutes of play, netting twice and securing all three points will be seen as a roaring success by the home crowd.
