"AC Milan claimed city bragging rights on Sunday night as they beat Inter 1-0 to jump above them in the table. As this morning's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes this morning, Milan won the derby 1-0 last night, extending their unbeaten streak to six games against Inter, with four of those being victories. In short, it's a good day to go into the office if you support the red side of the city."
"In the 29th minute of the second half, when Hakan Calhanoglu stepped up to the penalty spot with Inter a goal down, he felt like he was facing a giant guarding a hockey net. The two best goalkeepers in the league are at the top: Svilar and Maignan. A coincidence? Yann Sommer on the other side spilled a shot from Alexis Saelemaekers straight into the path of Pulisic for the winning goal. Milan gave the Nerazzurri a lot of the ball, but by choice."
"For the first time in 14 Serie A derbies, Milan kept Inter from scoring. The steely defence - aided by a timeless Luka Modric - deserves no less credit than Maignan. For now, Max is enjoying himself. He hadn't won a Milan derby since August 2011. It was played in Beijing, and it was Gasperini's Inter. Fourteen years later, they are the two coaches at the top of the pile in Serie A"
AC Milan defeated Inter 1-0 to claim local bragging rights and move into second place, level with Napoli and two points behind Roma. Christian Pulisic scored the decisive goal after Yann Sommer spilled a shot into his path, while Mike Maignan produced stunning saves in both halves to preserve a clean sheet. Milan extended an unbeaten derby streak to six matches, winning four of them, and deliberately ceded possession to strike on the counter. The defence, aided by Luka Modric, and Allegri's tactical setup underpinned the victory and league momentum.
