Nuno Tavares breaks down the left and battles two to get the pull-back from the by-line, Dia shot deflected into the arms of Paleari.
Cross into the box, Duvan Zapata and Castellanos knock it down for the Ilic half-volley, Provedel flies to palm it away! The move continues and Provedel is also behind the Duvan Zapata header.
Lazaro free kick deflected wide for a corner off Guendouzi. Provedel celebrates the wall doing its job.
Sanabria runs onto the flick-on, but the referee pulls play back for the Lazzari foul on Ilic in the build-up. Good refereeing, he let it play out and then restored the advantage when it was clear Toro didn’t make more of it.
Lazzari cross from the right, but Castellanos glancing header is well wide.
Gustav Isaksen wastes a promising Lazio attack by picking completely the wrong pass. He had a few different options and that was the worst one.
Nuno Tavares balloons into the stands from distance. Better with assists…
Torino‘s performance so far in a nutshell: Ilic just walked the ball out of play at the touchline. Nobody near him.

That’s four assists in four Serie A games for Nuno Tavares at Lazio.
A goal made in the Premier League: Nuno Tavares bursts down the left and pulls back from the by-line for Guendouzi to drill through a sea of legs from just inside the area!
Dangerous Lazzari cross from the right, but it only grazes the head of Castellanos.
Nice hug between the coaches, as Baroni and Vanoli played together at Verona.
Toro were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Empoli midweek, but a win here would keep them top of the Serie A table.
Out come the teams in Turin! Lovely sunny day.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic’s pain-killing injections evidently not enough. He was struggling in the warm-up, so Alberto Paleari takes over in goal.
New line-up:
Torino: Paleari; Vojvoda, Coco, Masina; Lazaro, Ricci, Tameze, Ilic, Borna Sosa; Sanabria, Zapata
Vanja Milinkovic-Savic had been a major doubt, but he is playing with the aid of pain-killing injections.
The Granata went into this weekend as the surprise Serie A leaders, still unbeaten with three wins and two draws.
Nikola Vlasic, Mergim Vojvoda, Zanos Savva and Perr Schuurs are out of action, while the Aquile miss Samuel Gigot with Patric only fit for the bench after the midweek Europa League win over Dynamo Kyiv.
