For the first time in two years, Milan's players were better than Inter in the city derby - the Rossoneri won 2:1 last night and ended a streak of six defeats in matches against the Nerazzurri.
Last night, Milan led from the 10th minute, when Pulisic scored, and in the 28th minute, the Nerosauri equalized through Dimarko. Gabija scored the final score in the 89th minute.
"The match was important. Milan had not celebrated in the derby for two years, and we also had to raise our form before the season continued. The players were brave, so we deservedly won. It's been a long time since a team has caused so many problems to Inter", said the coach after the match Milan Paulo Fonseca.
Milan started the season poorly, so the media in the Apennines wrote that the match with Inter was the last chance for Fonseca to keep his job.
"I don't read or listen to everything that is written and said. It is important for me to see that the players believe in our ideas. They deserve the victory. We know that we have to improve," said the Portuguese.
Inter suffered their first defeat this season in Serie A.
"Milan is a good team, they deserved to win. We had the wrong approach, which didn't happen to us often. I tried to make some changes, but that didn't help either. We weren't solid. When we scored and equalized, we had some good opportunity. But then we opened the second half in the same way as the first, we didn't play well enough as a team," believes Inter coach Simone Inzagi.
Inzaghi took responsibility for the defeat.
"We made the wrong choices - both with the ball at our feet and when we were defending. But we can learn from this defeat and be better," Inzaghi said.
