TURIN, Italy (AP) — Parma scored two own goals in two minutes to undo an otherwise tight match and tumble towards a 4-1 defeat by Torino in Serie A on Friday.
Giovanni Simeone scored his second goal in three games to put Torino 1-0 up in the third minute only for Mateo Pellegrino to equalize for Parma 17 minutes later.
But Parma pressed the self destruct button early in the second half.
First, Enrico Delprato turned a Che Adams shot into his own net in the 55th minute and two minutes later Mandela Keita was unlucky when a Simeone shot came off the bar, hit him almost on the goalline and bounced into the net.
Duvan Zapata added an accomplished fourth in stoppage time to guarantee a comfortable win for Torino.
It was only Torino’s second win in six games and lifted it two places into 13th.
The defeat snapped a five-game unbeaten run for Parma which remained in 12th, a point above Torino.
