AC Milan made their best start to a Serie A season since 1954-55 after edging past Torino 1-0 on Tuesday, with Olivier Giroud's goal proving decisive.

The Rossoneri opened their Serie A campaign with eight wins and one draw before Tuesday's game and entered the San Siro having won five games in a row.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic only fit enough for the bench, Giroud led the forward line and scored the game's only goal in the 14th minute, tapping in from a close range after Sandro Tonali's corner was flicked on by Rade Krunic.

The away side came close to equalizing in the 85th minute but Dennis Praet saw his attempt smack the bar.

Milan continue to top the table with 28 points, three ahead of Napoli, who host Bologna on Thursday.

Also in Serie A on Tuesday, Salernitana won 2-1 at Venezia, and Spezia shared the spoils with Genoa in a 1-1 draw.
