(AFP pic) MILAN: AC Milan closed the gap separating them from Serie A leaders Inter Milan to five points after beating Torino 3-2 at the San Siro on Saturday. Level at half-time after Giovanni Simeone struck for Torino a minute before the break, Milan got all three points thanks to quick-fire goals in the second half from Adrien Rabiot and Youssouf Fofana. Milan moves back into second place, a point above Napoli who won 1-0 at Caglairi on Friday, with Inter at Fiorentina on Sunday night. Saturday’s win further boosted Milan’s chances of returning to the Champions League as they sit 10 points ahead of fifth-placed Juventus. Juve can provisionally move into the top four with a win over Sassuolo in the day’s late fixture.
