Torino, leader of the Italian Championship undefeated before the 6th day, fell from high on Sunday by losing at home (3-2) against Lazio.

Having topped Serie A last weekend for the first time since February 1977, Torino only stayed there for a week after conceding its first defeat of the season in the league.

Eliminated from the Italian Cup on Wednesday by Empoli (2-1), already at home, the Piedmontese club had a bad week. He ceded the leadership chair to Juventus Turin (12 pts), which ended a worrying series of three draws on Saturday with a convincing success on the field of Genoa (3-0).

Torino fell to 4th place, overwhelmed by AC Milan and Inter who, like him, total eleven points after their success respectively against Lecce (3-0) and Udinese (3-2).

Against Lazio, the team coached since this season by Paolo Vanoli never found the solution, conceding a first goal in the 8th minute on a shot from Matteo Guendouzi, served by another former Marseillais, Nuno Tavares.

The Franco-Senegalese Boulaye Dia doubled the lead (60th), before the Scotsman Ché Adamas revived Torino (2-1, 67th).

Barely coming on, Tijjani Noslin brought the score to 3-1 (89th), before a second goal from Torino, for the honor, in added time.

Lazio, ’s future opponent in the Europa League on Thursday, is provisionally placed in 6th place with ten points.
