Inter record historic humiliation over rivals Milan

Inter and AC Milan arrived at the Guiseppe Meazza stadium level on points in Serie A, sharing the lead in the table after having managed to win their previous three matches. But they looked miles apart on the field as Inter earned a 5-1 thrashing over their rivals

After five minutes they had already opened the scoring after Thuram's cross which found Mkhitaryan, as the Armenian hit a left-footed shot into the net.

Thuram was the star of the show in the first half. Every ball that came into the box found him and, in the 38th minute, he got his name on the scoresheet with a right-footed strike.

Milan went into the break knowing they had to react and they did. Despite looking like they would not be able to hurt Inter, as they had come out poorly again in the second half, they changed their mentality.

Inter were well established in the game, but a quick reaction from Giroud, with a spectacular pass from outside the box, led to Leao's first goal, cutting the deficit and causing a certain slump in Inter's performance.

That slump lasted only a few minutes. If Milan thought they could get back into the game and have a chance to come back, Mkhitaryan broke those illusions in just 12 minutes. The midfielder put the third goal on the scoreboard with a very good goal from inside the box after a pass from Lautaro Martinez who controlled the ball to perfection. The Armenian player's brace was a bitter pill to swallow for Pioli's men.

Leao's goal was supposed to help Milan react, but it did just the opposite. Inter woke up and sealed the match in the 79th minute with a goal by Calhanoglu, who converted the penalty on Lautaro Martinez, scoring the fourth goal for the Italian team.

The match ended not only with a victory for Inter, but in humiliation. The match was more than settled for Inter, but Frattesi wanted to join the party. In the 93rd minute, after a Milan mistake, he took advantage of the opportunity and added the icing on the cake for Inzaghi's team.
