Serie A leaders Inter Milan could only draw 1-1 at home to Torino on Sunday while David Beckham was again the inspiration as AC Milan climbed up to second.
Rolando Bianchi gave Torino the lead with a header just after the break before defender Nicolas Burdisso nodded the equaliser for the champions, who piled on the pressure in the closing stages and hit the post twice. Inter's lead remains six points after Milan moved above Juventus with a 3-0 win at Lazio in the late game.
In-form Beckham, on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy, crossed for Alexandre Pato to score on 42 minutes and then whipped in a free kick which Massimo Ambrosini headed home early in the second half.
