Torino defender Armando Izzo turned goal scorer as Inter Milan missed the chance to close the gap on second-placed Napoli in Serie A with a 1-0 defeat in Turin while Roma also proved wasteful, blowing a three-goal advantage to draw 3-3 with Atalanta on Sunday.

Izzo headed in the only goal to get Torino back winning after their defeat last weekend to Roma.

Inter are now eight points adrift of Napoli who were held 0-0 by AC Milan at the San Siro on Saturday.

Winger Ivan Perisic was dropped amid transfer speculation, with captain Mauro Icardi starting up front alongside Lautaro Martinez.

But Torino piled on the pressure and it paid off early with Izzo meeting a Cristian Ansaldi cross to head in after 35 minutes.

Substitutes Radja Nainggolan and Matteo Politano failed to turn things around in the second half with Politano sent off late for arguing with the referee.
