MILAN – The rossoneri ran out 3-0 winners against Torino on Sunday evening in what was the last home match of the season.

El Shaarawy broke the deadlock on 18 minutes with a spectacular solo effort, controlling the ball on the edge of the penalty area and then firing past the Torino goalkeeper.

Cristian Zaccardo was handed a red card on the stroke of half time, but Milan’s numerical disadvantage didn’t last for very long as Toro were also sent down to 10 men shortly into the second-half when Molinaro was given a red card for a foul on Van Ginkel inside the penalty area.

Pazzini stepped up and converted the resulting penalty to give Milan a 2-0 lead and shortly afterwards El Shaarawy wrapped up the win by scoring his second of the night following a brilliant give-and-go with Van Ginkel.

Here are the statistics to emerge from the match:

819- the number of days since Stephan El Shaarawy last scored a goal at the San Siro. On that occasion, the 24th of February 2013, the little pharaoh netted past Inter in the derby.

3- by scoring a brace versus Toro, El Shaarawy took his goal tally for the season to 3. The other came on the 9th of November 2014 away at Sampdoria.

6- the little pharaoh has now scored a total of 6 braces with the Milan jersey.

100- this is the number of goals scored in Serie A by Giampaolo Pazzini after his second-half penalty against Torino: 3 with Atalanta, 25 with Fiorentina, 36 with Sampdoria, 16 with Inter and 20 with Milan.

13- Zaccardo’s red-card means a total of 13 Milan players have been given their marching orders this season in Serie A.
