AC Milan secured an important 3-2 victory against Torino at San Siro on Saturday night, moving back above Napoli into second.
Milan opened the scoring after a cagey start, with Strahinja Pavlović breaking the deadlock after a 30-yard strike. Simeone equalised before the break but then goals from Adrien Rabiot and Youssouf Fofana in the second half put Milan in command.
Despite Vlašić’s late penalty for Torino, Massimiliano Allegri’s men held onto their lead and secured a big three points. Here are the key statistics from the match, courtesy of the official website.
Undeserved?
Torino head coach Roberto D’Aversa thinks his side deserved at least a draw, and the main stats from the game show he might have a point.
The Granata ranked comfortably higher for Expected Goals, while they had 3 big chances to Milan’s 1. They also had more total shots, more shots on target and more corners. However, what counts is how many times the ball ends up in the net.
Allegri’s charge
Milan have lost no more than three of their first 30 Serie A matches of the season (18W, 9D, 3L) for the first time since 2004-05 under Carlo Ancelotti.
Massimiliano Allegri’s Milan scored three goals both home and away against Torino in this season.
The Rossoneri have remained unbeaten for 30 consecutive home games against the Granata in Serie A (21W, 9D) and have only done better against Hellas Verona in home league matches: 34, between May 1958 and December 2025.
Milestones
Luka Modrić reached the milestone of 550 appearances in the ‘top five’ European leagues: since his debut season in these tournaments (with Tottenham in 2008-09), only Antoine Griezmann (555) has played more than the Croatian in the period (550, like Dani Parejo).
Since joining Milan (2023-24), Christian Pulisic is the only Serie A player to have scored at least 30 goals (31G) and provided at least 20 assists in the period in the tournament (20A).
First home goal for Adrien Rabiot out of five total in this championship; before today, the last home goal scored by the Frenchman in Serie A was on 12 May 2024 (Juventus v Salernitana).
Excluding full-backs, no defender has scored more home goals than Strahinja Pavlović in this Serie A: three, like Kabasele and Kempf.
