AC Milan fans have a spring in their step waking up this morning, after last night’s Derby della Madonnina victory over Inter.
Milan completed a league double over their city rivals thanks to a goal in the first half from Pervis Estupinan, who fired into the top corner from inside the box after a lovely through ball by Youssouf Fofana. That would be the only goal in the match, as the Rossoneri cut the gap to seven points.

Is the title race back on as a result? Massimiliano Allegri admitted after the game that Inter remain the big favourites to win it, but it has certainly increased the hopes a bit.

Corriere dello Sport: “The Allegrata. Milan ruthless: they’re seven points behind and dreaming. Inter sunk. The Scudetto, 10 games to go. Corto muso: Max also takes the return derby.
“Estupiñan sends the Nerazzurri knockout blow, who had last lost on November 23rd against Allegri. Chivu: ‘Ricci’s arm in the penalty area? They told me there was a check’.”
Tuttosport: “StraMilan. Inter, derby nightmare: Estupinan reopens the Scudetto race.”
QS: “Milan reopen the Scudetto battle. Estupinan secures the 1-0 win in the derby, now Inter are on seven points away.”
