Milan 0-2 Inter: Lukaku settles derby to keep Nerazzurri's 100% league start

Gianluigi Donnarumma performed heroics and the woodwork denied Inter three times, but Milan still lost the derby 2-0 with Marcelo Brozovic and Romelu Lukaku goals.

Match Reports

Marcelo Brozovic and Romelu Lukaku struck as Inter continued their 100 per cent start to the Serie A season and extended a strong recent record in derbies against city rivals AC Milan with a 2-0 victory.

A deflected strike from Brozovic four minutes into the second half and a late clincher from Lukaku settled a contest that Antonio Conte's men always looked the more likely to win.

Milan, the designated home team at the shared San Siro, only produced one shot on target and were comfortably kept at arm's length by Inter after the opening goal.

The Rossoneri have now lost two of their first four games under coach Marco Giampaolo and failed to beat Inter in seven consecutive league derbies.

Match Events

23' NO GOAL! Calhanoglu's shot ruled out for an earlier foul

MILAN HAVE THE BALL IN THE NET! Piatek pounces on a loose ball in the box as Kessie charges down Asamoah's clearance. The forward fires his effort low past Handanovic, but the referee had long blown for a handball decision against Kessie. There didn't appear to be much the midfielder could do about it.

36' OFFSIDE! Lautaro scores but goal is disallowed

Danilo D'Ambrosio with a ridiculous acrobatic bicycle-kick, Donnarumma an even better save, Lautaro taps in the rebound and he's flagged offside! It's being checked by VAR just in case.

49' GOAL! Milan 0-1 Inter (Brozovic)

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! BROZOVIC SCORES!!!! INTER 1-0!!! The Nerazzurri do take the lead as Brozovic's deflected strike finds the right bottom corner. Milan switch off at the set-piece allowing Sensi to roll an offload to the midfielder. He lines up a low strike that diverts off Kessie to find roll into the net, wrong-footing Donnarumma. The referee checks for an offside decision against Martinez blocking the view of the Milan keeper, but after a look he awards the goal.

78' GOAL! Milan 0-2 Inter (Lukaku)

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! LUKAKU HEADS HOME!!!! 2-0!! Inter notch their second to take control of the game. The Belgian displays great movement in the middle to get in front of Romagnoli. He meets Barella's cross from the left flank, flicking his header beyond Donnarumma into the right top corner. A fine finish.
