AC Milan coach Inzaghi defends goal-shy Torres

AC Milan coach Pippo Inzaghi is standing by Fernando Torres after he drew another blank in their 1-1 draw with Cagliari.

Giacomo Bonaventura's lob cancelled out a Victor Ibarbo opener for Cagliari to earn the draw for Milan.

Inzaghi said: "Last time the critics said it was the other way round. I hoped a centre-forward like Torres would allow us to get the other strikers into the box tonight, but Zeman's teams are always tricky.

"We need to improve, but it also has to be said that in the summer nobody thought we'd be in third place at this stage of the season."
