Aina Shines, Sees Yellow As Torino Shock Inter Milan
Published: January 27, 2019
Super Eagles defender Ola Aina was in brilliant form Sunday evening for his Italian Serie A side Torino who defeated ten man Inter Milan 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Torino's goal was scored by Armando Izzo in the 35th minute albeit the home side created far more goal scoring chances.
The on loan Chelsea defender, Aina, was deployed in the left wing position and he provided both defensive and attacking impetus to his team's performance.
Aina, playing his 19th league game this season was shown a yellow card in the 76th minute for a foul on Matteo Politano, his second of the season in all competitions following the yellow card he received on January 13 in Torino's 2-0 defeat to visiting Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia.
Interestingly Politano was shown a second yellow card in quick succession ten minutes after Aina brought him down for simulation when challenged by the Nigerian.
The win takes Torino to the 10th position in the Serie A table with 30 points, 10 points behind third placed Inter.
