Strahinja Pavlovic scored a stunning goal in the 37th minute to put AC Milan ahead against Torino, but the visitors equalized before halftime. Milan's comeback intensified in the second half, with Youssouf Fofana and Adrien Rabiot scoring to secure a 3-2 victory. The win moved Milan back into second place in Serie A, six points behind Inter Milan, and ahead of Napoli who won 1-0 at Cagliari. Christian Pulisic finally contributed with an assist for Rabiot's goal, ending his 11-match goal/assist drought. The result leaves Inter's Sunday visit to Fiorentina as the next crucial fixture.

Milan's transformation after halftime was stark, shifting from a sluggish start to a dominant performance. Giovanni Simeone's equalizer for Torino sparked jeers from home fans, but coach Massimiliano Allegri's halftime adjustments proved decisive. Rabiot's goal, assisted by Pulisic, broke the American striker's prolonged scoring silence, while Fofana added a second goal. Torino's Nikola Vlasic pulled one back late with a penalty after Pavlovic was penalized for dragging down Simeone, leaving Milan to defend a nervy finish.

The victory narrows the gap to Inter Milan to six points, with both teams now focused on Sunday's matches. Milan's resurgence under Allegri keeps them firmly in the title race, while Torino's inconsistency continues to cost them. Pavlovic's goal and Rabiot's assist were pivotal, showcasing Milan's ability to adapt and fight back when needed.
