AC Milan made it a league double over Inter at San Siro on Sunday night, emerging with a 1-0 victory thanks to Pervis Estupinan’s goal.
Estupinan went on a surging run into the box that was found by an excellent pass from Youssouf Fofana who in turn had been fed by Rafael Leao, and the Ecuadorian sent the shot into the top corner at the near post. It would be enough to secure bragging rights for the second time this season.
