How the match went

After a disastrous first half, in which Torino opened the scoring with Nikola Vlasic from the penalty spot in the 10th minute and Duván Zapata extended the lead in the 17th, Milan finally woke up.

French midfielder Adrian Rabiot pulled one back in the 24th minute with a long-range shot into the top corner, scoring his first goal since joining Milan from Olympique de Marseille at the end of August.

The introduction of Pulisic in the second half, after being rested due to a cold, proved decisive for Torino.

The American international equalized in the 67th minute with his first touch of the ball, just one minute after replacing Davide Bartesaghi.

The former Borussia Dortmund player secured the victory for his team ten minutes later (77’), after receiving a cross from Samuele Ricci.

Thanks to their 13th consecutive unbeaten match in Serie A, Milan, with 31 points, caught up with Napoli, who defeated Juventus 2-1 on Sunday. But the Rossoneri occupy first place thanks to a goal difference superior to that of the Neapolitans (+11 to +10).
