Torino owner Urbano Cairo blasted the worst match of the season as the club s winless Serie A run at home continued with a goalless draw on Saturday against minnows Spezia who played 82 minutes a man down.
Luca Vignali was sent off for the promoted side after just eight minutes in Turin for a bad tackle on Nicola Murru.
