Torino snatched a late equaliser against 10 man Inter Milan to share the spoils in the 3-3 draw at the Stadio Olimpico Di Torino. This game came to life within a minute of the first whistle as Torino striker Alessio Cerci's left-footed shot crashed against the post with just two minutes on the clock. Inter then had the worst possible start when goalkeeper Samir Handanovic brought down Cerci in the penalty area conceding a spot-kick and getting sent off in the process with just five minutes played. Cerci who was this season's top goal-scorer so far this season until Guiseppe Rossi's earlier hat-trick, stepped up to take the penalty but he could not beat substitute keeper Juan Pablo Carrizo. The hosts grabbed the lead through Alexander Farnerud's left-footed shot which flew into the bottom corner with 21 minutes on the clock. The home side pushed forward in search of a second goal to kill off the tie and make their one man advantage count, but Inter had other ideas and levelled matters through a GuarÃn shot which fizzed into the bottom left hand corner on the stroke of half-time. Torino substitute Ciro Immobile who had come off the bench five minutes earlier then put the home side ahead once more in the 53rd minute, after the striker found the top left corner with his right-footed shot. The 10 men of Inter responded almost immediately when they equalised for the second time in the game through a Rodrigo Palacio header two minutes later. The visitors grabbed the lead for the first time in the game in the 71st minute after a wonderful cross by Ishak Belfodil was met by a sliding Palacio to tap home. Inter Milan looked to have pulled off a miraculous come from behind victory after playing 85 minutes with a man down, but Torino pulled off a last minute equaliser to cap a dramatic game of football. Nicola Bellomo who had just replaced Matteo Brighi 10 minutes earlier, struck a cross-cum-shot free-kick from the left and the ball evaded everyone including keeper Carrizo and landed up in the top corner with 90 minutes on the clock. Torino will rue Cerci's penalty miss as well as their sloppy defending, but they will be relieved to at least walk away with a point from this dramatic game.
