Torino misplaced Antonio Sanabria after simply 21 minutes to a thigh downside, changed by ex-Milan flop Pietro Pellegri.

Rafael Leao had a number of robust runs, blasting over the bar, earlier than the Rossoneri broke the impasse with their new buys.

Pulisic began the transfer with a by means of ball for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who pulled again from the precise for Giroud, nevertheless it went past him to seek out Pulisic’s tap-in from six yards.

That didn’t final lengthy, as Torino equalised moments later when Ricci’s shot took an odd bounce and become an help for the Perr Schuurs volley from 10 yards.

There was controversy when VAR intervened to recommend an on-field evaluation for Alessandro Buongiorno’s dealing with offence and the referee agreed it must be a penalty.
