Torino 2 - 2 AC Milan

Alessandro Rosina fired home a penalty 12 minutes from time to earn Torino a 2-2 draw at home to AC Milan on Sunday and dent the seven-time European champions' title hopes. Milan are second in Serie A but are now three points behind bitter city rivals Inter Milan, who beat third placed Juventus 1-0 on Saturday.

Roberto Stellone nipped in front of his marker Kakha Kaladze on 25 minutes to head home a cross from Rosina at the near post to give the hosts the lead. But just four minutes later Milan were level after teenage Brazilian forward Pato brilliantly killed a firm pass from Gennaro Gattuso as he beat the offside trap and then fired high into the roof of the net.

On 34 minutes Milan were in front thanks to a rifled free-kick from Ronaldinho, who is already making a name for himself in Italy for spectacular strikes. But as Milan tried to hold on, a cross from the left hit Kaladze on the thigh and rebounded onto his arm, with the referee pointing to the spot and Rosina made sure the points were shared.

Lecce 0 - 3 AS Roma

AS Roma captured their first away victory of the season as Luciano Spalletti's team continued their recent resurgence with a 3-0 win at Lecce. The capital side began the day just one place above the relegation zone but their predicament is looking increasingly less desperate following a second straight league win - the first time this season they have managed that feat.

Prior to this victory they had lost five and drawn one of their six away matches. But on the back of recent home victories over Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League and city rivals Lazio in the league, Roma's confidence is starting to return and results are beginning to improve.

Vucinic hit the net after just 11 minutes with an angled left-foot shot from Totti's pass. Brazilian centre-back Juan then doubled the advantage seven minutes before the break after Matteo Brighi's shot was deflected into his path. Just after the restart Totti added the third with a delightful chip over goalkeeper Francesco Benussi after latching onto a through ball from Brighi. It could even have been worse for Lecce as Vucinic hit the post with a header from Totti's cross in the second half. fifa
