Pervis Estupiñán’ s first-half strike saw Milan complete a Serie A derby double over their fierce city rivals for the first time since 2011. It extended Inter’s winless run in the Derby della Madonnina to seven games as Massimiliano Allegri secured his fifth victory from 10 derbies as Rossoneri boss across two stints. Milan almost went ahead when Luka Modric pounced on a mistake by Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer , only to whistle his shot inches wide. Pervis Estupiñán scored his first Milan goal to seal three points against Inter. Getty Inter had gone 15 league matches undefeated since that 1-0 loss to Milan in November and had scored in every single Serie A match in that sequence, but the road has been a bit rockier recently. Cristian Chivu’s men were shocked by Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League playoff round and could only secure a goalless draw in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semifinal clash with promoted Como last week. On Sunday evening they should have taken the lead when Henrikh Mkhitaryan ran 40 yards past three defenders and into the Milan box, only to put a weak finish straight into the chest of Mike Maignan . Instead, barely a minute later, Milan did go ahead thanks to a perfectly weighted pass through a gap in Inter’s defence from Youssouf Fofana . Overlapping full back Estupiñán held off the pursuing Luis Henrique before emphatically crashing his left-footed shot high inside Sommer’s near post. Milan almost doubled their lead before halftime after Christian Pulisic fizzed in a low cross, but Alexis Saelemaekers’ finish was wayward under pressure from Federico Dimarco . After the break a burst forward from Pulisic created a shooting opportunity for Rafael Leão , but he fired across goal and wide before a Fofana drive was beaten away by Sommer. Inter threatened when Ange-Yoan Bonny planted a header over the crossbar, and in stoppage time Pio Esposito swivelled in the area only to send his volley wide as Milan held on to keep the leaders in their sights.
