"AC Milan produced a stunning comeback to put their Torino taboo to bed, coming from two goals behind to win and retake top spot in the Serie A table. It was a nightmare start as Milan fell behind to a Nikola Vlasic penalty following a Fikayo Tomori handball, then Duvan Zapata scored his eighth goal against the Rossoneri to double the advantage inside the opening half an hour."
"Adrien Rabiot's beautiful 25-yard strike gave hope, and then it was the Christian Pulisic show. The forward - who shook off flu to even take part in the game - scoring a quickfire brace off the bench to complete the comeback. The win is only Milan's second in 13 games at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, and the manner that it came will certainly inspire confidence, as will returning to the summit in Serie A after Inter and Napoli won."
"Massimiliano Allegri - who had to watch from the stands due to suspension - made four changes to the starting line-up compared to the team that lost to Lazio. Matteo Gabbia, Luka Modric, Davide Bartesaghi and Christopher Nkunku all came back into the side. In the ninth minute, the first bit of danger that Torino generated resulted in a penalty. A cross looped towards the far post, and as Tomori tried to contest the header, the ball landed on his outstretched arm."
AC Milan overturned a two-goal deficit to beat Torino and retake first place in the Serie A table. Nikola Vlasic opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Fikayo Tomori handled a cross. Duvan Zapata then doubled Torino's lead with a low angled drive. Adrien Rabiot reduced the deficit with a 25-yard strike. Christian Pulisic, who played despite flu, scored a quick double off the bench to complete the comeback. Massimiliano Allegri was suspended and watched from the stands while making four changes to the starting lineup. Mike Maignan saved shots but could not prevent the early penalty.
