AC Milan 1-0 Inter Milan – Nerazzurri “Convinced” They Were Denied Clear Penalty But Refuse To Seek Excuses | OneFootball

Inter Milan’s pursuit of another Serie A title suffered a setback on Sunday as AC Milan toppled the Nerazzurri at San Siro.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the runaway leaders are not seeking excuses despite a controversial loss.

Pervis Estupinan helped the Rossoneri complete their first league double over Inter since the 2010/11 season.

Indeed, the Ecuadorian wingback decided the game in the first half, reducing Inter’s lead at the summit to seven points.

However, with only ten games left to play, Milan’s task of overthrowing the Nerazzurri feels nothing short of Herculean.

Inter Milan Not Seeking Excuses for AC Milan Loss

It’s fair to say that Inter were far from their best in the derby.

Indeed, without Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram in attack, the Nerazzurri struggled to breach Milan’s low defensive block.

Furthermore, Cristian Chivu couldn’t count on star midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, which derailed the creativity in the engine room.

However, Inter could’ve claimed a late point, only for Daniele Doveri to deny them a last-gasp penalty.

Even though the ball struck Samuele Ricci’s arm, the 48-year-old waved play on, with VAR refusing to intervene.

Meanwhile, everyone at Inter remains convinced Doveri made the wrong call, but the focus is firmly on regrouping for the crucial matches ahead.
