What an incredible game at the San Siro! Gonzalo Higuain sealed an epic derby comeback victory for the Old Lady as Juventus beat Inter 3-2 and go 4 points clear of Napoli.
Douglas Costa fired Juventus into an early lead and Matias Vecino was then sent off. The second half was completely different, with Inter Milan turning on the heat and taking the lead following a header from Mauro Icardi and an own-goal from Andrea Barzagli. That seemed to have condemned Juventus to defeat but a late rally turned the game on it's head, Milan Skriniar deflected the ball into his own net before Gonzalo Higuain's dramatic header.
