Struggling Turin recorded a 2-1 home win against AC Milan on Sunday and sentenced the defending champions to their second Serie A loss this season.
Torino took a surprising lead 35 minutes into the game via defender Koffi Djidji, who nodded to a Valentino Lazaro free kick that was awarded after Pierre Kalulu fouled Torino midfielder Nikola Vlasic.
Aleksey Miranchuk doubled Torino’s lead two minutes later when goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic sent a long ball into the field that landed just in front of the Milan area, and the midfielder fired a low shot into the right post.

Milan hit back through midfielder Junior Messias who fired their first shot at goal in the 67th minute, after a mistake by Milinkovic-Savic left the goal uncovered and the Brazilian shot into the empty net.
Milan are third in the standings with 26 points from 12 games, one point behind number two Atalanta and six adrift of league-leader Napoli, who both won their games this weekend.
Torino moved up to ninth place with 17 points.
