Kamil Glik headed home a deserved late equaliser for Torino as 10-man AC Milan's fortune finally ran out at the Stadio Olimpico.

Jeremy Menez's third-minute penalty put Milan ahead but they then found themselves having to weather a fierce Torino storm, a situation not helped by the visitors' loss of Mattia De Sciglio to a red card before half-time.

However, with Milan's goal leading a charmed life, Menez's strike looked set to earn them all three points - only for Glik to rise highest nine minutes from time to power home the equaliser in a 1-1 draw.

Sassuolo and Udinese also shared a 1-1 draw which the hosts will feel should have ended in their favour.

Simone Zaza continued his excellent recent form by giving Eusebio De Francesco's side the lead, but Cyril Thereau replied soon after to earn a point for Andrea Stramaccioni's visitors, whose last win came more than a month ago.

Sassuolo had the better chances to win but had to settle for a draw which extends their unbeaten run to three games, with only one defeat in their last 12 league matches.
