AC Milan extended their Serie A unbeaten run to nine games with a 1-0 win over Torino on Saturday night at the San Siro.
Keisuke Honda hit the bar and Carlos Bacca had a goal ruled out for offside as the Rossoneri gritted out another important victory over a dangerous away side coached well to counter-attack by Giampiero Ventura.
The win, courtesy of Luca Antonelli’s strike just before half-time, acted as another validation of Sinisa Mihajlovic’s managerial qualities, more specifically his man-management.
The Serbian has shown an acute sensibility for each of his players since taking the reins last summer, finding the right balance between pushing and reassuring his team to get them firing.
