There were numerous flashpoints on Saturday evening during what was a fiercely contested derby between AC Milan and Inter, with Denzel Dumfries predictably involved in more than one.
Dumfries caused a stir before the game with his comments in the lead-up during which he claimed there is nobody from Milan that he fears, and the players were no doubt aware of it. Sandro Tonali – a boyhood Milanista – made sure to shove the Dutch defender well away from Theo Hernandez during the game after the Frenchman was fouled.
The Milan midfielder said (via MilanNews): “He is my team-mate, you go away. He is my team-mate, you go away. I’ll take care of it.”
