Torino coach Mihajlovic in furious clash with Juventus legend Vialli after derby draw

Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has clashed with Juventus legend Gianluca Vialli after their draw on Saturday.

Toro were left fuming with Afriyie Acquah's dismissal.

“A few years ago, especially in England, that wasn't even a foul, let alone a yellow card," said Vialli.

“But the rules have changed and you can't slide in like that now without having full control of your body, so for me the yellow card was understandable."

When Mihajlovic arrived via a video link, he did not hold back.

“Vialli said that's a foul – I consider that blasphemy! He got the ball cleanly. I don't care what you say. You are on television, you are supposed to be impartial, everybody saw it was not a foul!

“You are the only one defending this. You should be fair in your judgement and you are not! Either that or you need a pair of glasses!"
