3'GOAL! Milan 0-1 Inter (Vecino)
VECINO MAKES IT THE PERFECT START FOR INTER! 1-0 to the Nerazzurri as Rodriguez allows Perisic to hang a deep cross to the far post for Martinez, who intelligently nods centrally, into the path of Vecino who hammers an awkward half-volley into the roof of the net!
51'GOAL! Milan 0-2 Inter (De Vrij)
ANOTHER STRONG START TO THE HALF LEADS TO A GOAL FOR INTER! 2-0 now to the Nerazzurri who get some insurance after a quick free kick allows Politano to curl a precise cross to the head of De Vrij who is inexplicably left without a defender. Milan have it all to do now as Inter tighten their grip on the match!
57'GOAL! Milan 1-2 Inter (Bakayoko)
MILAN ARE BACK IN THE MATCH THROUGH BAKAYOKO! 2-1! Calhanoglu takes a free-kick from a central position well outside the penalty area but he manages to hang it high enough for Bakayoko to rise and power his header past Handanovic! The angle wasn’t favourable, but the Turkey international is known for his set-piece ability, and it came off perfectly there!
67'Penalty Goal! Milan 1-3 Inter (Lautaro)
MARTINEZ MAKES IT 3-1 FROM THE SPOT! The striker makes no mistake as he fires his penalty into the bottom-left corner! The two-goal lead is restored for the visitors!
71'GOAL! Milan 2-3 Inter (Musacchio)
IT’S GAME ON ONCE AGAIN AS MUSACCHIO CLAWS IT BACK TO 3-2! Another short-corner routine pays dividends, this time for Milan as Suso receives a pass from Calhanoglu and fires it towards the back post looking for a team-mate. The ball finds an unsuspecting D’Ambrosio who gets a knee to it, knocking it towards Handanovic. The goalkeeper has to make a reaction save but Musacchio is there to react quickest and hammer the ball into the net!
Match Report
Inter beat bitter rivals AC Milan 3-2 in Sunday's thrilling derby to move above their neighbours in the Serie A table, with Lautaro Martinez's penalty ultimately proving decisive.
Luciano Spalletti, who was sent to the stands in the closing stages, had seen his side win just once in five competitive outings amid the ongoing stand-off with Mauro Icardi, but they produced a focused display to end Milan's five-match winning Serie A streak.
Inter were superior to Milan all over the pitch in the first half, with Matias Vecino's early goal setting the tone for proceedings until the break, before Stefan de Vrij made it 2-0 just after the interval.
