Olivier Giroud the… redeemer! A 62nd-minute goal from the Frenchman against Torino was enough for Milan as the Rossoneri won 1-0 and returned to winning ways after three consecutive Serie A defeats.
Stefano Pioli’s team was for yet another match below the circumstances, however this was not enough to deprive them of the positive result.
The guests came into the game stronger and threatened in the 18th minute with Sanabria, whose shot went just wide of Tatarousanos’ post. In the 37th minute, Simon Kjaer did an unthinkable mistake, but the Romanian goalkeeper was in the right spot and cleared Sanabria’s shot.
In the 54th minute, Milan warned with Leao, with Milinkovic-Savic performing an impressive intervention. What the Portuguese failed to do, he did Giroud at 62′. The French centre-forward took advantage of Hernandez’s assist and opened the scoring for the Rossoneri.
In the 76th minute, Hernandez had a huge chance to score and “lock” the three-pointer, but he was mistimed against the “Granata” goalkeeper. From that point on, the pace dropped noticeably, with 1-0 being the final result and Milan getting a very important win, with which they climbed to 41 points. Torino remained at 30 and in 7th place.
