Gallery: ‘The Pulisic cure’, ‘Allegri’s moves decisive’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan produced a stunning comeback against Torino on Monday night, coming from two goals down to claim victory and top spot.

Milan fell behind to a Nikola Vlasic penalty after a Fikayo Tomori handball, then Duvan Zapata doubled the advantage inside the opening 20 minutes to give a mountain to climb for the away side.

Adrien Rabiot’s thunderbolt from distance halved the deficit, and then it was over to Christian Pulisic. The American – who shook off flu to even take part in the game – netted twice off the bench to complete the comeback.
