"AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri admitted his side were far from perfect against Inter, but did what was needed to secure a massive win. Milan made it six derbies on the spin without defeat and four wins in six against Inter, winning 1-0 at San Siro on Sunday night. Christian Pulisic got the only goal early in the second half, firing into an empty net after Yann Sommer had parried an Alexis Saelemaekers shot straight to him."
"The Rossoneri once again defended heroically when asked to, and Mike Maignan stepped up to bail out Strahinja Pavlovic who conceded a penalty for a foul on Marcus Thuram. Hakan Calhanoglu took on the responsibility, but he failed to convert from 12 yards as Maignan went the right away."
"A great win, it was an entertaining match. In the first half, we were a little lacking in the first 15 minutes, but then the team played better. We had 4-5 situations where we could have finished better in the final metres. We should have activated Saelemaekers better because Dimarco was very high up and we could have hurt him. We need to finish our crosses better."
AC Milan defeated Inter 1-0 at San Siro, extending an unbeaten derby run to six and securing four wins in six against Inter. Christian Pulisic scored early in the second half by tapping in after Yann Sommer parried an Alexis Saelemaekers shot. Milan defended resolutely, with goalkeeper Mike Maignan saving a penalty after Strahinja Pavlovic conceded for a foul on Marcus Thuram. The team created several chances but lacked finishing in the final metres and crossing quality. The squad needs improved attacking pressure and better activation of wide options to exploit high opposition full-backs.
