Skipper Andrea Belotti's quick-fire second-half double, including a sensational overhead kick in front of goal, sealed a 2-1 comeback win in Serie A over AC Milan.

Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek had put AC Milan ahead from the spot after 18 minutes in the clash between midtable rivals in the Olympic Stadium on Thursday.

But in four-minute spell, Belotti sealed all three points for Walter Mazzarri's side who had suffered back-to-back losses in their previous two games.

Torino move up to sixth in the table, equal on nine points with Napoli and Cagliari after five games, but six points behind leaders Inter Milan.

AC Milan drop to 13th, following on from last weekend's 2-0 derby defeat.

"We didn't want to lose a third in a row," said Belotti.

"They made us dance in the first half but when we returned after the break we were a different side."
