"Torino had some interesting complaints after they lost to AC Milan on Monday night regarding how the third goal was scored. As Tuttosport (via MilanPress) recall this morning, Torino coach Marco Baroni and president Urbano Cairo complained about the fact that Milan scored the goal to make it 3-2 while they were a man down on the field, making it 10v11."
"They believe that the game was restarted too quickly, but the paper have debunked this notion. Christian Pulisic's winner - his second goal of the night - came after Torino took a full 2 minutes and 25 seconds to replace the injured Adrien Tameze. Secondly, it was the Granata goalkeeper Israel who restarted play after 2 minutes and 25 seconds, taking the free-kick, not Milan. At that point, the Rossoneri players continued to play as their opponents had done, so certainly nothing unfair."
Torino complained that Milan's third goal arrived while Torino were temporarily down to ten players during an injury substitution. Detailed timing showed Christian Pulisic's second goal came after Torino required 2 minutes 25 seconds to replace the injured Adrien Tameze. The Granata goalkeeper Israel took the free-kick to restart play rather than a Milan player, and Milan players continued the attack as play resumed. Replay and timing indicate the restart was lawful and not rushed. Post-match reactions stressed belief in the team, acknowledgement that such situations penalise, and a need for greater caution alongside focus on positives.
