Photos: Why Calabria was marking Dzeko on Inter’s first goal against Milan

Davide Calabria didn’t have a good performance against Inter last night and as the captain of AC Milan, he should have done more. Especially on the Nerrazzuri’s first, but it turns out that goal was a bit more complex. 

In the 8th minute of the game, Inter got their first corner of the game and they made the most of it, as Edin Dzeko opened the scoring with a great strike. However, most Milan fans focused on the fact that Davide Calabria was marking a Bosnian.

Clearly, that was a mismatch in terms of size. As explained by Jon Mackenzie, though, Calabria wasn’t actually supposed to mark Dzeko. Denzel Dumfries blocked Fikayo Tomori, who was marking Dzeko, and forced the Calabria to switch his man.
