AC Milan suffered their first away defeat in 17 matches

Looking to break into the top half of the table, Torino perhaps stunned their visitors by playing on the front foot from the off.

They were finally rewarded for their efforts with 10 minutes remaining in the opening interval when Koffi Djidji headed home a superb Valentino Lazaro delivery to snatch the lead. 

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.

Reducing the arrears proved too little too late for the Rossoneri, who had no answers for a stubborn Torino rearguard. 

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. 

To compound their joy, the victory sees the Granata jump into the top half of the table.
