Inter came into the match a better side that their rivals who have struggled to replicate the performances that saw them win the Serie A title last season.

In the match, Milan goalkeeper Ciprian Tătăruşanu was kept on his toes as a result – making two saves to keep things deadlocked during the opening half an hour but the pressure was eventually too much when World Cup winner Lautaro Martínez continued his red-hot form and scored his 12th Serie A goal for 1-0.

Inter sit second in the table, three above Roma, while Milan registered their third league defeat in a row and sits sixth.
