Lautaro gives Inter Milan provisional lead in Serie A

Lautaro Martinez has scored late as Inter Milan beat Genoa 1-0 to take the provisional lead in Serie A.

Lautaro met a corner with a header that deflected off a defender's chest before going in to break a deadlock at the San Siro.

The Argentina striker then climbed up on a security fence to celebrate with Inter's fans on the other side.

Inter moved one point ahead of Antonio Conte's Napoli, who can reclaim the lead with a win at Como on Sunday.

Next weekend, Inter visit Napoli.

Four days after being eliminated from the Champions League, AC Milan dropped further into crisis with an error-strewn 2-1 loss at Torino.

The mistakes started with an own goal from Malick Thiaw five minutes in when a clearance from Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan ricocheted off his own defender into the net.

Christian Pulisic then failed to convert a penalty for the first time in his career when Torino goalkeeper Sergej Milinkovic-Savic lunged to his right to push away the American's low spot kick.

Milinkovic-Savic has saved four of the five penalties he's faced this season.

After a shot from Milan's Joao Felix hit the post, the Rossoneri equalised with a shot from Tijjani Reijnders in the 74th.

But Torino reclaimed the lead two minutes later with a quick shot from Gvidas Gineitis following a free kick that seemed to surprise Milan.

Milan remained seventh while Torino moved up to 11th.

Milan were eliminated from the Champions League by Feyenoord on 2-1 aggregate on Tuesday.

Earlier, Parma coach Cristian Chivu had a successful debut with a 2-0 win over regional rivals Bologna; and fourth-place Lazio were held to a 0-0 draw at relegation-threatened Venezia.
