Genoa missed the chance to move out of the Serie A relegation zone by being held to a 1-1 draw at home with Torino.

Former Manchester City striker Rolando Bianchi put the visitors in front in the 19th minute when he was allowed a free header from Valter Birsa's cross.

However, Andreas Granqvist restored parity 10 minutes later by nodding home Andrea Bertolacci's corner.

Marco Rossi thought that he had put Genoa in the lead just after the restart after following up Ciro Immobile's parried shot, but he was denied by the linesman's flag.

Alessandro Sgrigna and Giuseppe Vives both went close for Torino in the latter stages, but the score remained level.
