Serie A: Martinez Heads In The Winner For Inter; Milan Lose To Torino

💃Lautaro Martinez scored late and Inter Milan beat Genoa 1-0 to take the provisional lead in Serie A on Saturday. Lautaro met a corner with a header that deflected off a defender’s chest before going in to break a deadlock at the San Siro. The Argentina striker then climbed up on a security fence to celebrate with Inter’s fans on the other side. Four days after getting eliminated from the Champions League, AC Milan dropped further into crisis with an error-strewn 2-1 loss at Torino. The mistakes started with an own goal from Malick Thiaw five minutes in when a clearance from Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan ricocheted off his own defender into the net. United States international Christian Pulisic then failed to convert a penalty for the first time in his career when Torino goalkeeper Sergej Milinkovic-Savic lunged to his right to push away the American’s low spot kick.
