MILAN DO DERBY DOUBLE TO CUT INTER LEAD

AC Milan played a near-perfect game at San Siro as they beat rivals and league leaders Inter 1-0.

With their second Derby della Madonnina win of the season, Milan cut Inter's lead at the top of Serie A to seven points. A win for Inter would have put them 13 points ahead, a perhaps unassailable lead, but they looked completely out of control for the entire game.

Luka Modric had a trademark performance at the heart of almost everything Milan produced. He was on hand to scare Inter in the opening few minutes as Yann Sommer's wayward pass rolled out to Christian Pulisic, but Modric's shot was just wide.

It was a sign of things to come for Inter, who created nothing.

It felt as if Christian Chivu and Massimiliano Allegri were in complete reverse from the beginning, with the former getting his gameplan completely wrong and the latter getting it spot on.

In the 34th minute, Youssouf Fofana played a wonderful pass into the path of Pervis Estupinan, who smashed the ball into the top of the net and Sommer was helpless to stop him.

From there, Milan were in complete control aside from moments of frenzied attacks that Inter attempted intermittently.

Milan blocked every inroad that Inter tried to make, covering the passing lanes and killing their threats from the wings with organised defending.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Federico Dimarco both had golden chances to score, the latter of which made a criminal miss from inside the box and hit the ball far over the bar.

Milan defended immensely and as Inter tried to force the ball in late with shot after shot, they withstood under pressure and secured a stunning win.

MILAN HANGING ON

Inter have yet another corner and there's plenty of late drama and chaos here as Milan begin to hang on.

That might be it...

CHIVU GOT THIS WRONG... ALLEGRI GOT THIS RIGHT

Feels like this match has been in Allegri's palm the entire game so far.

Inter have created nothing and still, are trying to play out from the back and having their passing lanes cut by Milan and receivers harried by defenders.

Milan doing well to keep this defence organised at this stage.

20 MINUTES TO GO AS MILAN LEAD 1-0

Entering the final portion of this game and Milan are managing to keep this precarious 1-0 lead.

Feels like the only way Inter score is through sheer magic or a Milan mishap from an individual.

BASTONI EARNS DESERVED YELLOW

Definite yellow card for a silly trip on Rabiot. Pretty cynical and borderline.

The defender has now gone down himself...

He's playing his villain role well.

MILAN THREATEN ONCE AGAIN

Dimarco has been one of the league's best players in recent weeks but he's having a horror so far today.

He tries to make an intercept but his timing is off and he allows Milan to instantly bypass the midfield, and Leao manages to get a shot off from a wide angle but it fires past the goal.

Inter are settling into the tie a little bit, but they have a tendency to make a silly mistake and give Milan chance after chance.

DIMARCO MISSES GOLDEN CHANCE

Dimarco and Inter might not get a better chance than that. He should have buried it.

Barella makes a a great delivery into the box to Mkhitaryan who lays it back to Dimarco inside the box, and he skies it over the bar.

The camera cuts to Martinez on the bench and he has his head in his hands. You'd back him to bury that one.

51'

FOFANA FORCES A SOMMER SAVE

What a pass from Modric to open up Fofana in the middle. The Croatian is at the heart of everything good tonight.

Fofana makes a good save from just outside the box to force a save from Sommer.

Two early chances for Allegri's side already this half.

49'

LEAO MISSES CHANCE TO DOUBLE LEAD

Milan fire up from one box to the other as Pulisic makes a nice run, passing it left to Leao.

But the forward drags past the goal and just couldn't get a good connection.

HALF-TIME! MILAN 1-0 INTER

Inter have a shot with Barella to close out the half but his show was always going wide.

Estupinan gets Milan ahead with a fine finish that opened the floodgates for Milan, and they came close to adding a second several times.

Chivu desperately needs to get his Inter side to regroup and calm down.

OPENING UP FOR MILAN

God this game is opening up for for Milan now and they seemed set for a second goal.

Fofana makes a run into the corner of Inter's box and just can't pick a player out in the box, but Inter are in survival mode right now and Milan are running them ragged.
