Fernando Torres scored his first Serie A goal last night as a leaky Milan battled back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Empoli.
Making his first start after a late appearance at the San Siro on Saturday in a 1-0 defeat to Juventus, the former Chelsea striker began the Milan fightback with a looping 43rd minute header.
The Spaniard had been quiet until then, with Empoli looking more likely to go 3-0 up after Lorenzo Tonelli had headed the home side ahead in the 13th minute and Manuel Pucciarelli doubled the score in the 21st.
Japan playmaker Keisuke Honda equalised for Milan with a clinical left drilled low shot into the corner in the 58th, with Torres then substituted with nine minutes remaining.
Empoli ended with 10 men after Mirko Valdifiori was sent off in the 86th following two yellow cards in the space of two minutes, the second for a heavy challenge on midfielder Nigel De Jong.
