Football: Fiery Fiorentina down to nine men in dramatic 1-1 draw at Torino

Torino are still without a home win in Serie A this season after a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina on Friday - despite facing just nine men for 25 minutes after the visitors had two men sent-off in an incident-packed match. Both sides had already hit the woodwork in the first half when the game burst into life after the break - Gaetano Castroville was the first man to see red for Fiorentina after hauling down Torino's Sasa Lukic. The man disadvantage was no barrier to Fiorentina taking the lead thanks to the evergreen 37-year-old Franck Ribery - but Cesare Prandelli's side were then reduced to nine men after Nikola Milenkovic thrust his head against Torino captain Andrea Bellotti. The nine men held out until the 88th minute when Bellotti - of all people - was on hand to steer in his 10th goal of the season and earn Torino a point.
