Serie A: Giroud strike ends Milan’s winless run

The Hindu  

AC Milan ended its seven-game winless run in all competitions after a second-half header by Olivier Giroud earned them a 1-0 home win over courageous Torino in Serie A on Friday. Milan, who last won a game over a month ago when the league resumed following the World Cup break, moved provisionally up from sixth to third in the standings on 41 points from 22 games. Torino had another opportunity three minutes later but goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu kept out Sanabria’s effort before the referee blew for a foul in the build-up. The hosts had their best chance in the 54th minute when forward Rafael Leao connected with a ball inside the box but Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic saved his first-time shot from close range.
