AC Milan racked up their sixth win of the calendar year on Monday night with a 1-0 win over a struggling Torino side.
Rather predictably it was Ante Rebic who established himself as the difference maker once again, netting his sixth goal of the calendar year so far in the first half to fire the Rossoneri to victory.
Head coach Stefano Pioli had a couple of injury issues to deal with as Hakan Calhanoglu did not make the squad due to a muscle issue, while centre-back Simon Kjaer came off in the first half for the same reason.
However, Matteo Gabbia and captain Alessio Romagnoli managed to hold Andrea Belotti at bay as the Rossoneri claimed another vital three points, though Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samu Castillejo did miss big chances to make the game more comfortable.
Below are the best highlights from the game…

È sempre Ante Rebic. I rossoneri battono 1-0 il Torino e si portano al sesto posto, a 35 punti, pari con Parma e Verona. La classifica torna a migliorare, ma anche la prestazione soddisfa Stefano Pioli.#CurvaSudMilano #SempreMilan #ForzaMilan #MilanTorino pic.twitter.com/x7qY2jkJTt
