🚨 Inter v AC Milan: red-hot Maignan hands the derby to the Rossoneri! | OneFootball

Milan is red!

This Sunday evening, Italy had its eyes fixed on the Derby della Madonnina between Inter and AC Milan.

Relegated to third place at kickoff after the victories of Naples and Roma, the Inter players had to react against Milan, who could climb back onto the podium.

But the plans of Chivu's players were thwarted by a Mike Maignan in top form.

Decisive in superbly deflecting a huge attempt by Lautaro Martinez onto the post, the French goalkeeper then saw his team open the scoring thanks to Christian Pulisic (54th minute).

With twenty minutes remaining, Maignan then definitively became the hero by stopping Hakan Çalhanoğlu's penalty (74th minute) with a magnificent bluff.

Deliberately leaving his left side slightly open, the Rossoneri goalkeeper led the Turk to shoot to his right before leaping to block the attempt.

Thanks to this decisive save, AC Milan claimed the scalp of their arch-enemy and surpassed them in the standings.

Max Allegri's players are currently second in Serie A, two points behind AS Roma, who are alone at the top. Meanwhile, Inter falls off the podium and is three points behind the Roman leader.
